In a large mug, steep the tea bags into 3/4 cup hot water for five minutes or until strong. If using lavender buds, steep them in the water along with the tea bags. If opting for culinary oil, wait for the tea to steep before adding in a drop.
While the tea is steeping, steam the milk (see below note). The milk should come out frothy and hot. If using a thermometer it should read about 160-180 °F.
Add in your sweetener of choice to the steeped tea. Pour the steamed and frothy milk over top and enjoy!

I use the steam setting on my espresso machine to froth/steam my milk. An electric frother would work as well, such as a Nespresso frother which heats up the milk and steams it. A handheld frother works too but you would need to heat the milk over the stove or in the microwave before using it.
You can totally skip the frothing step if you don't have the equipment and opt to just use hot milk.
Too much lavender oil will leave your drink tasting soapy. Use it sparingly and only add in one drop.
