Earl Grey & Lavender Milkshake
A graceful blend of comforting and floral flavours, this milkshake brings together the gentle citrus notes of Earl Grey tea and the soft perfume of lavender.
Infuse the milk - Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan until it begins to steam, taking care not to let it boil. Add the Earl Grey tea and dried lavender, then allow the mixture to steep for about 5 minutes so the flavours fully bloom. Strain to remove the tea and lavender, and let the infused milk cool completely.
Blend the milkshake - In a blender, combine the cooled Earl Grey–lavender milk, vanilla ice cream, honey, and fresh orange juice.
Create the texture - Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and luxuriously thick.
Serve with elegance - Pour into chilled glasses and finish with a delicate garnish of fresh orange slices and a light scattering of lavender buds.
Enjoy - Serve immediately and savour the fragrant balance of citrus, tea, and floral notes in this beautifully indulgent milkshake.
A few details make all the difference
01
Infuse Gently, Never Boil
Warm the milk only until it begins to steam. Boiling can mute the Earl Grey and make the lavender taste bitter. Five minutes is enough to draw out their fragrance without overwhelming the milk.
02
Cool Completely Before Blending
Strain the infused milk thoroughly and allow it to become completely cold. Adding warm milk would immediately soften the ice cream, leaving the milkshake thinner than intended.
03
Blend Briefly and Serve at Once
Blend on high only until thick, smooth and velvety. Pour straight into chilled glasses, then garnish sparingly with fresh orange and a few lavender buds.
Why this recipe works
Swirled into rich vanilla ice cream and finished with a touch of fresh orange juice, it becomes a smooth, fragrant treat that feels both refreshing and indulgent—an elegant sip designed to soothe and delight.
