FAQs
Can I use fresh lavender instead of lavender syrup?
Fresh lavender can be used, but it needs to be infused into a simple syrup before blending to avoid a gritty texture and to properly release its flavor.
Is honey necessary in this recipe?
Honey adds natural sweetness and depth of flavor, but you can substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar if preferred or to accommodate dietary restrictions.
