Chef tips
Use culinary lavender sparingly so the floral aroma does not overpower the fruit. For an even silkier texture, blend the milk with the lavender for a few seconds before adding the remaining ingredients.
Substitutions
You can swap the pear for a sweet apple, the honey for maple syrup, and the milk for a plant-based drink if you want a different profile. If you use plant-based milk and yogurt, be sure to adjust allergens and dietary tags as well.
