Tips:

Use fresh lavender flowers. Dried lavender flowers can be used, but they will not have as strong a flavor. If you are using dried lavender flowers, use half the amount called for in the recipe.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Lavender honey tea bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use fresh lavender flowers and honey. This bread is also a good source of fiber and protein. If you are looking for a new bread recipe to try, I highly recommend this lavender honey tea bread.
