Ingredients

Units Scale

Tea-Infused Milk

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp loose-leaf Earl Grey tea (or 2 tea bags)
  • 1 tsp dried culinary lavender

Milkshake Mix

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 2 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
  • Juice of 1/2 a fresh orange

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh orange slices
  • Lavender buds

Instructions

  1. Heat and Infuse Milk: Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it just begins to steam, making sure not to let it boil. Add the Earl Grey tea and dried culinary lavender to the warm milk, then let it steep for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors deeply.
  2. Strain and Cool: After steeping, strain the milk to remove the tea leaves and lavender buds. Allow the infused milk to cool completely to prevent melting the ice cream prematurely during blending.
  3. Blend Milkshake Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled tea-infused milk, vanilla ice cream, honey, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and fully integrated.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the milkshake into serving glasses. Optionally garnish with fresh orange slices and a sprinkle of lavender buds to add an elegant and aromatic touch.
  5. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the milkshake right away to enjoy its refreshing and indulgent flavor profile at its best.

Notes

  • Adjust honey sweetness according to your taste preference.
  • Steeping time is important to avoid bitterness from the tea and lavender; do not steep longer than 5 minutes.
  • Make sure milk is cooled before blending to maintain the milkshake’s creamy texture.
  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor and creaminess.
  • Fresh orange juice adds brightness, but can be omitted if preferred.
