FAQ:
Q1: Can I make these recipes ahead of time? A: Yes! The recipes, especially the tea and lemonade, can be made ahead and stored in the fridge. For the smoothie, it’s best served immediately but can be stored for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
Q2: Can I use fresh lavender instead of dried? A: While dried lavender is typically recommended for these recipes due to its stronger flavor, fresh lavender can be used in a pinch. Just be sure to reduce the quantity slightly, as fresh lavender tends to be milder.
Q3: Are these recipes suitable for people with dietary restrictions? A: Yes, these recipes can be easily adapted to suit different dietary needs. For a vegan option, simply use non-dairy yogurt in the smoothie and substitute honey with maple syrup or agave in the tea and lemonade.
Q4: Can I add alcohol to any of these drinks? A: Absolutely! For a grown-up twist, you can add a splash of vodka to the lavender lemonade, rum to the spiced apple tea, or a dash of gin to the citrus smoothie.
