Serving Size

Equipment

Small saucepan
Fine-mesh strainer
Teapot or kettle
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing glass or pitcher
Tall glass: for serving
Spoon: For stirring.
Ice cube tray (optional)

Ingredients

1 Earl Grey tea bag
½ cup hot water
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
½ cup cold sparkling water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Ice cubes
Lemon wheel or lavender sprig for garnish optional

Instructions

Boil ½ cup water and pour it over 1 Earl Grey tea bag. Steep for 3–4 minutes, then remove the tea bag and let the tea cool.
In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup water, ¼ cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons dried lavender. Bring to a gentle simmer until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat and steep for 10 minutes.

Strain out the lavender and let the syrup cool.
Fill a tall glass with ice.
Add 2 tablespoons lavender syrup, ½ cup Earl Grey tea, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the glass.

Top with ½ cup cold sparkling water.
Stir gently to mix.
Garnish with a lemon wheel or a sprig of lavender if you want.

Notes

For the best results, I stick to food-grade dried lavender—otherwise, it can get bitter. The syrup keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so I usually make it ahead.

If I want a stronger lavender taste, I just add a bit more syrup. Different sparkling waters can totally change the flavor, so sometimes I use lemon or lime ones for fun.

To serve a crowd, I double or triple the recipe and mix it up in a larger pitcher. That usually does the trick.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip of the Lavender Earl Grey Fizz Mocktail, there’s a gentle floral aroma—lavender, but not too much. It works with the bergamot from the Earl Grey tea.

On my tongue, the drink feels light and bubbly. The fizz adds a refreshing touch, and I taste a balance of sweet and tart, with a hint of earthiness from the tea.

The lavender adds a calming touch, and the Earl Grey brings a mild citrus taste. The sparkling water really lifts the flavors and makes the mocktail feel lively.

I find the drink isn’t too sweet. If I want it sweeter, I just add a bit more simple syrup—easy fix. The overall flavor is balanced and honestly easy to enjoy.

Substitute

Sometimes, I just run out of ingredients. Other times, it’s about making a swap for dietary reasons.

Here are a few substitutes I reach for with this mocktail:

Earl Grey tea: If Earl Grey’s missing from my pantry, I’ll grab black tea and toss in a bit of lemon peel. The citrus note gets pretty close.
Lavender syrup: Out of lavender syrup? I’ll use honey syrup or just simple syrup with a drop of food-grade lavender oil if I have it around.
Club soda: No club soda? Sparkling water or tonic water gives it that same bubbly vibe.

Equipment substitutes:

No cocktail shaker? I just grab a jar with a tight lid and shake things up in there.
And if I’m missing a strainer, I’ll pour slowly and use a spoon to catch any big bits or ice.

Instructions with substitutes:

Brew black tea with lemon peel for about 3-5 minutes. Don’t overthink it.

Stir in honey syrup, or simple syrup with a drop of lavender oil. Adjust to taste, honestly.
Pour it all over ice. Top with sparkling water or tonic—whichever’s handy.
