Lavender Vanilla Shake

Ingredients

1/2 cup agave nectar+ 2 Tbs water

3 tablespoons heaping culinary lavender flowers

8 scoops So Delicious Creamy Vanilla ice cream, softened for about 10 minutes until sligh

1/2 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage (I used Vanilla)

Do ahead: Mix the agave, water, and lavender flowers in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the agave is liquified, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit for about an hour.

Strain the mixture into a small bowl or jar, pressing the lavender, to release all of the liquid.

Cover and set aside at room temperature, until ready to use. (Up to five days.)

When ready to prepare shakes, place ice cream, milk, banana, lavender, and vanilla in a blender.

Blend on low, and gradually increase to medium speed until blended thick and creamy.

Pour into two tall glasses and serve.
