Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Purple food coloring (optional)
• Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Lavender Infusion Magic:

• In a saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, dried culinary lavender buds, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
• Gently heat the mixture over low heat until it’s warm, but avoid bringing it to a boil.
• Remove the saucepan from heat, cover it, and let the lavender infuse for about 30 minutes.

2. Strain and Chill:

• Strain the infused coconut milk mixture to remove the lavender buds.
• Optionally, add a few drops of purple food coloring to achieve that lavender hue.
• Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the ice cream base to cool.

3. Churn to Perfection:

• Pour the chilled Lavender Dreamscape ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes, resulting in a fragrant dreamscape.

4. Freeze to Set:

• Transfer the freshly churned Lavender Dreamscape ice cream into an airtight container.
• Freeze it for a few hours until the ice cream reaches your desired firmness.

5. Serve and Savor:

• Scoop out generous servings of this fragrant masterpiece into bowls or cones.
• For an extra touch of elegance, you can garnish with a fresh lavender sprig.
