The Earl Grey Lavender Milkshake is a luxurious and unique dessert drink that combines the fragrant notes of Earl Grey tea and culinary lavender with creamy vanilla ice cream and a hint of fresh orange juice. This refreshing milkshake offers a sophisticated twist on a classic treat, perfect for those who love floral and citrus flavors infused into their desserts.

Ingredients

Tea-Infused Milk

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

Milkshake

  • 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 milk and steep tea: Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it just begins to steam, making sure not to bring it to a boil. Add the Earl Grey tea and dried culinary lavender to the warm milk. Allow the mixture to steep gently for 5 minutes to extract the flavors.
  2. Strain and cool milk: After steeping, strain the milk to remove the tea leaves and lavender buds. Set the infused milk aside and let it cool completely before using it in the milkshake.
  3. Blend milkshake ingredients: In a blender, combine the cooled Earl Grey lavender milk, vanilla ice cream, honey, and fresh orange juice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  4. Serve and garnish: Pour the milkshake into glasses. Garnish each with fresh orange slices and a light sprinkle of lavender buds for an elegant and aromatic presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, delicate flavors.

Notes

  • Do not boil the milk when heating to preserve the delicate flavors of tea and lavender.
  • Adjust the honey according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • The orange juice adds a subtle citrus brightness that complements the floral notes; fresh juice is recommended for best flavor.
  • This milkshake is best served immediately to retain its creamy texture and fresh aroma.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and ice cream with plant-based alternatives.
