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)
1 very ripe banana
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

1 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. 2 Remove from heat, cover, and allow to sit for about an hour. 3 Strain the mixture into a small bowl or jar, pressing the lavender, to release all of the liquid. 4 Cover and set aside at room temperature, until ready to use. (Up to five days.) 5 When ready to prepare shakes, place ice cream, milk, banana, lavender, and vanilla in a blender. 6 Blend on low, and gradually increase to medium speed until blended thick and creamy. 7 Pour into two tall glasses and serve.
