Ingredients
  

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon culinary lavender buds

1 teaspoon pure 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 flame, stirring occasionally until the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and allow it to steep for 15-20 minutes, enabling the lavender flavors to infuse into the cream.

    Strain the Mixture: After steeping, carefully strain the infused cream through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, discarding the lavender buds. Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for about 30 minutes, or until thoroughly chilled.

      Prepare the Iced Tea: While the lavender cream is chilling, brew your preferred iced tea or prepare a lavender-infused iced tea. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until ready to combine with the cream.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the lavender cream is chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. In a tall glass, pour in 1/2 cup of the chilled lavender cream, followed by 1/2 cup of the prepared iced tea. Stir the two liquids gently until well combined.

          Serve: Fill the glass with ice cubes to the brim. For an extra creamy texture, pour additional lavender cream over the ice, layering it for visual appeal.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Decorate your sipper with a sprinkle of edible lavender flowers and a touch of lemon zest, if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer for easy sipping, and enjoy your delightful Ice Cold Lavender Cream Sipper!
