I have been drinking Rooibos tea for a couple of years now, mostly with mint or orange, but have never had it with lavender. This is quite good! I enjoy it iced during the summer and will try it that way with the lavender. I skipped the honey or sugar, because I find the red bush to be sweet tasting enough.
