Ingredients
- 2 cups of milk or plant-based alternative
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of dried lavender flowers
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Honey for drizzling
- Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)
Preparation of Lavender Infused Pudding
Begin by heating the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the dried lavender flowers and let them steep for about 5 minutes, allowing the floral aroma to infuse into the milk. Strain out the lavender to prevent it from affecting the pudding’s texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the warm lavender-infused milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into serving glasses or bowls and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set properly.
Adding the Floral Note with Honey Drizzle
Once the pudding is chilled and set, drizzle honey generously over the top. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh lavender sprigs or edible flowers to enhance the visual appeal and aroma. The honey adds a sweet floral note that complements the lavender flavors beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
This floral pudding is perfect as a light dessert after a hearty meal or as a charming afternoon treat. Pair it with a cup of herbal tea or a glass of sparkling water infused with lemon for a refreshing experience.
Enjoy creating this elegant dessert that combines the soothing qualities of lavender with the natural sweetness of honey, offering a taste of floral serenity in every bite.
