I was actually originally making this into ice cream, but I had my mom try it before I stuck it in the ice cream maker. She loved it so much that we ended up just putting it in coffee and tea. It can also be used in baking, cooking, smoothies or anything that you want to add a touch of lavender to. It is divine!
Lavender Rice Milk
3 Tablespoons Fresh Lavender (or 1 1/2 Tablespoons dried lavender)
2 cups rice milk (or other milk, I bet almond milk would be delicious. I used rice because it has a light flavor that doesn't overpower the lavender. It is also the cheapest to make.)
a little honey, agave or other sweetener (I just put a teaspoon, but you might want it sweeter depending on what you are using it for)
1. Put the rice milk, lavender, and honey in a pot.
2. Heat it to the point where it is steaming, but not boiling. Turn the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and let it sit for at least 45 minutes. I let mine sit for several hours so it had a strong lavender flavor.
4. Strain out the lavender and store it in the fridge.
I think this is best in tea and coffee! mmm!! Right now I am enjoying it in my afternoon mint tea. Exquisite!
