There are drinks you reach for when you need energy—and then there are those you make when you need peace. This Lavender White Tea Mocktail is very much the latter. Light, floral, and entirely caffeine-free, it’s perfect for winding down, cooling off, or adding a touch of calm elegance to any gathering. Whether it’s a slow Sunday afternoon or a cozy evening under the stars, this botanical blend brings a little ritual to your glass.
Lavender is known for its calming properties, while white tea is delicate, packed with antioxidants, and oh-so-gentle on the system. Together in this mocktail, they create a soft floral base that plays beautifully with citrus and sparkling water. Tea Trunk’s Lavender White Tea—made with real lavender buds and premium loose-leaf white tea—is the heart of this recipe. It's not just a drink, it’s a pause.
To create this mocktail, start by brewing 1 tablespoon of Lavender White Tea in 1 cup of hot water (not boiling—white tea prefers a gentler touch). Let it steep for 5–6 minutes, then strain and let it cool completely. In a shaker or mixing jar, combine the cooled tea with a splash of fresh lemon juice, a dash of elderflower cordial, and a teaspoon of honey or agave (optional, if you like it sweet). Shake gently with ice, then pour into a tall glass or coupe over more ice. Top it off with sparkling water and garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a few edible flowers if you're feeling fancy.
The result? A delicate, aromatic sip that feels like self-care in cocktail form. It’s sophisticated enough for a dinner party, but simple enough to make anytime you need to slow down. And because it’s caffeine-free, you can even enjoy it as part of your nighttime wind-down routine.
This Lavender White Tea Mocktail is proof that wellness doesn’t need to be complicated—it can be as easy as steep, shake, and sip.
