Pro Tips

  1. Don’t Overdo the Lavender: A little lavender goes a long way! Too much can make your creamer taste like soap. Stick to the recipe, and you’re golden.
  2. Strain Well: Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the lavender buds for a silky-smooth texture.
  3. Customize Sweetness: If you like things a little sweeter, add more honey! You can even try maple syrup for a fun twist.
  4. Go Dairy-Free: Swap the heavy cream and milk for coconut milk or oat milk to make it vegan!
  5. Make It a Gift: Pour this into a pretty jar and gift it to someone who loves coffee or tea—it’s such a thoughtful homemade treat!
