Tart lemon, calm lavender, zero pretension.
Lavenderade is a tart, citrusy herbal blend built for whichever cup you actually have time for — hot in a mug between emails, or poured over ice when it's too warm to care. Lemon grass and orange peel do most of the talking, with rose hips bringing the tang and lavender rounding off the sharp edges so it doesn't taste like sucking on a lemon.
No tea base means no caffeine, so it's fair game any hour — morning, midday, or the one cup you sneak in after everyone else is finally asleep.
You don't need any special equipment for this one. A mug and a strainer (or an infuser, if you've got one lying around) gets the job done. That's the whole setup.

How to Brew
Use 2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. Bring the water to a full rolling boil (212°F). Steep for 5–10 minutes — shorter for a lighter cup, longer if you want it strong enough to hold up over ice. Makes approximately 11–14 cups per 1 oz bag.
To make it iced, brew it hot as directed, then pour over ice. For a stronger iced version, use slightly less water than usual so it doesn't go flat once the ice melts.
Want to skip the kettle entirely? Add 2 teaspoons per 8 oz of cold water and let it sit in the fridge for 8–12 hours. Strain and pour over ice.
Storage Tips
Store in a cool, dry spot, away from direct heat and sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to keep the blend fresh. Keep it away from steam and moisture — near the stove isn't ideal.
