Lavender syrup is a delicate, slightly sweet floral touch that adds a sophisticated flavor to your desserts. It's ideal for topping ice cream made with Ninja Creami, and its pretty lilac hue also makes it a stunning visual addition. Plus, it can transform any drink or dessert into an ultra-chic moment!
Ingredients :
- 250 ml of water
- 200 g of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of dried lavender flowers (make sure they are edible!)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, to intensify the color and acidity)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. It will become a nice, clear syrup. - Add the lavender.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the dried lavender flowers to the saucepan. Let it infuse over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the syrup to fully absorb the floral flavor. - Add the lemon juice (optional).
If you want a slightly more pronounced color and a touch of acidity, add a tablespoon of lemon juice at this stage. The juice will also intensify the freshness of the lavender. - Strain the syrup.
Pass the syrup through a fine sieve to remove the lavender flowers. You will obtain a fragrant syrup, ready to enhance your desserts. - Let it
cool to room temperature before pouring it into an airtight bottle. The syrup keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week.
My Personal Tip:
This lavender syrup is divine on vanilla ice cream, frozen yogurt, or even lemon ice cream with Ninja Creami. It also pairs wonderfully with red berry sorbets for a floral and fruity contrast. If you want to impress your guests, use this syrup in a cocktail or homemade lemonade; the floral notes are sure to make an impact!
Here's a delicate and fragrant syrup that will add a touch of elegance to all your Ninja Creami frozen creations. With this lavender syrup, your desserts will not only be delicious, but also worthy of the finest tables!
