Ingredients

Makes about 4 popsicles

  • 1 tsp lavender flowers (either from your garden or you can buy bags of organic edible lavender flowers for use in cooking)
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of organic full fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup of frozen organic blueberries (reserve a few berries to put at the bottom of the popsicle mold.
  • 2 fresh Stevia leaves (or use stevia drops as per instructions on the bottle)

Method

Make tea as you would any herbal tea. Place the loose lavender flowers in a cup and pour over the boiling water. Cover and leave to infuse for 5-10 mins depending on taste. Taste after 5 min and see if it as strong as you desire. Strain out the flowers and allow it to cool. Meanwhile place the other ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Place 3-4 berries at the bottom of our mold and pour over the mix. Freeze for minimum 6 hours.
