My notes
Tips
- No loose lavender? Open pure lavender tea bags and use the same amount. Look for them in tea shops, health food stores or online.
- Lavender varies in strength. Taste the cream after 10 minutes: it should taste softly floral. For more, steep up to 5 minutes longer instead of adding more buds, which quickly taste like soap.
- Use lavender sold for cooking. Lavender from a garden center or florist may have been sprayed.
Why it works
Honey is mostly fructose and glucose, which lower the freezing point more than sugar, so the tubpint spins soft and smooth. Steeping and straining give a clean floral flavor without gritty buds.
