Ingredients
  

Milkshake Base
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream slightly softened
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup Earl Grey tea strong, cooled
  • 1 tsp dried culinary lavender buds
  • 2 tbsp honey adjust to taste
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Toppings
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 2 sprigs fresh lavender for garnish

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Measuring cups
  • Tall glasses

Method
 

  1. Brew strong Earl Grey tea using 2 tea bags in 1/4 cup boiling water. Steep 4 minutes, then cool completely.
  2. Steep dried lavender in heavy cream for 10 minutes, then strain out lavender buds.
  3. Add softened ice cream, cooled tea, lavender cream, and milk to blender.
  4. Add honey, vanilla extract, and salt to blender ingredients.
  5. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  6. Adjust consistency with milk if too thick, or ice cream if too thin.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey if needed.
  8. Pour into chilled glasses, top with whipped cream and fresh lavender sprigs.

Notes

Use only culinary-grade lavender for safe consumption. Tea must be completely cooled before blending to maintain thick consistency. Store leftover milkshake in freezer and re-blend before serving.
