Ingredients
  

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon culinary lavender buds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup iced tea or lavender-infused iced tea

Ice cubes

Edible lavender flowers (for garnish)

Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Infuse the Cream: In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and culinary lavender buds. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm (but not boiling). Remove from heat and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Strain the Mixture: After steeping, strain the cream mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding the lavender buds. Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved. Let this mixture cool completely, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

      Prepare the Iced Tea: While the cream mixture chills, brew your iced tea or prepare lavender-infused iced tea according to your preference. Allow it to cool, and then refrigerate.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the cream mixture is chilled, take it out of the refrigerator. In a tall glass, combine 1/2 cup of the chilled lavender cream, followed by 1/2 cup of iced tea. Stir gently to combine.

          Serve: Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, then pour additional lavender cream over the ice for an extra creamy touch.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with edible lavender flowers and a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer, and enjoy your refreshing Ice Cold Lavender Cream Sipper!
