1. Prepare the tea. Put the tea and lavender
into a large pot. Bring 6 cups of water to a
boil and pour over the tea/lavender. Steep
for 5 minutes. Strain and bring to room tem-
perature and then transfer to the refrigerator
to fully chill.
2. While the tea is chilling, prepare the orange
simple syrup. Put the granulated sugar
and water in a small saucepan. Set over
medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to
allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has
completely dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, add the orange peels,
and then cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate until fully chilled prior to use.
3. Once the tea and simple syrup are fully
chilled, prepare the orange juice. Assemble
the citrus juicer attachment and set to the
LOW pulp setting. Turn to low speed and
juice the oranges.
4. Put the tea in a large pitcher and stir in the
orange simple syrup and orange juice and
serve over ice.
