LAVENDER HONEY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat heavy cream, half-and-half, honey, and lavender flowers in a heavy 2-quart saucepan, stirring occasionally, until cream just starts to bubble. Remove from heat and cover; let steep for 30 minutes.
• Strain cream mixture into a bowl using a fine-mesh sieve. Discard lavender flowers. Clean saucepan and pour strained cream mixture back in. Heat over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl. Whisk in 1 cup hot cream in a slow stream.
• Pour egg mixture into the remaining hot cream in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard coats the back of the spoon and reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Chill, covered, for at least 3 hours.
• Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the freezer to firm up.

HONEY-LAVENDER LEMONADE

Steps:

• Combine the honey, lavender buds and 3 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve the honey. Set aside and allow to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Add the lavender sprigs and the lemon juice to a large measuring cup and muddle to release the lavender oils. Strain the honey-lavender water and combine it with the muddled lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes before removing the lavender sprigs. Divide the lemonade between two 2-cup to-go containers. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Divide the vodka, if using, between the containers. Add some frozen grapes to keep the drink cold! Serve.

LAVENDER-INFUSED HONEY RECIPE BY TASTY

• Let the honey boil for about 5 minutes to let the lavender infuse, then remove from the heat.
• Pour the honey through a mesh sieve into a heat-proof container.
• Allow the honey to cool, uncovered, until room temperature, at least 1 hour.
• Enjoy!
