Ingredients
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1 tablespoon lavender powder (recipe below or you can substitute with lavender syrup if preferred- see notes)
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (can substitute with 1 teaspoon corn starch)
- 1 cup ice
- Whipped cream, for topping
Lavender Powder
- ¼ cup culinary-grade dried lavender
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoon black currant powder (for color)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon soy lecithin powder (optional for easier blending in drinks)*
Instructions
- Add milk, cream, vanilla syrup, lavender powder, xanthan gum, and ice to a blender and process until smooth and frothy.
- Pour into cup and top with whipped cream.
Lavender Powder
- Put dried lavender in a spice or coffee grinder and grind flowers into a fine powder. Transfer to small bowl.
- Whisk sugar, black currant powder, salt, and soy lecithin (if using) into ground lavender.
- Transfer mixture back to grinder (you may have to work in batches) and process until entire mixture is a fine powder.
Notes
*If you're only planning to use the lavender powder in Frappuccinos, you can skip the soy lecithin powder as the powder will have no trouble blending in the blender.
- See post body for customization ideas.
- If using lavender syrup instead of lavender powder, I recommend using 2-3 tablespoons of syrup, depending on how sweet and lavender flavored you want the Frappuccino.
