Instructions
 

  • Infuse the Milk with Lavender: Begin by gently simmering the milk in a small saucepan. Add one tablespoon of the dried lavender to the milk, stirring gently to ensure it is fully immersed. Allow the mixture to simmer lightly for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Let it steep for another 10 minutes to imbue the milk with the floral essence of lavender.
  • Place the blueberries, honey, two tablespoons of water, and remaining lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently until the blueberries burst and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and strain through a fine sieve to remove the solid bits and cool.
  • Strain the lavender-infused milk to remove all the lavender blossoms. Let the milk cool to room temperature. Once cooled, divide the milk into two glasses and add about 1-2 tablespoons of the blueberry syrup. Whisk until smooth.
  • Fill glasses with ice and garnish with few blueberries blueberries for an extra touch of elegance.
