Note

If you have an electric milk frother/steamer, you can use that instead.  I have a coffee machine with a steamer, so I use that.  But if you don’t have any of these devices, you can whisk the warm milk in the saucepan by hand until it gets frothy. 

Remember do not boil the milk just simmer it.  To prevent the milk from curdling, heat the milk gently over medium-low heat.

Try adding the lavender sugar to the milk as you are simmering on the stove.  This adds an extra level of flavor to the tea.
