Honey Lavender Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Heat honey in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Stir in lavender. Let cool. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
• Heat lavender honey over medium heat until heated through. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard lavender.

Steps:

• Pour the honey into a medium, heavy saucepan and place over medium heat. Be sure to use a large enough pot because the honey can easily boil over.
• Add in the dried lavender and let the honey come to a boil.
• Let the honey boil for about 5 minutes to let the lavender infuse, then remove from the heat.
• Pour the honey through a mesh sieve into a heat-proof container.
• Allow the honey to cool, uncovered, until room temperature, at least 1 hour.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• If using fresh lavender:.
• With thumb and forefinger, pull the flowers from the stems (discarding stems). If using dried lavender you won't need this step.
• Combine lavender flowers and sugar in a food processor and pulverize completely, about 1 minute.
• Bring the water to a boil, remove pan from heat and add the sugar/lavender mixture, stirring to dissolve sugar.
• Cover with a lid and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Strain out flowers through a sieve, pressing flowers to get out any remaining liquid.
• Add the lemon juice and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, then freeze in sorbet or ice cream mixer.

Steps:

• Warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the lavender. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.
• Warm the honey again over low heat until it is liquid enough to pour freely. Strain through a wire sieve (I place a clean paper coffee filter inside the mesh strainer), into a clean jar. Cool and cover.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Serve at room temperature.
