Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 ½ cups non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender flower petals
- 2 drops natural red food coloring
- 2 drops natural blue food coloring
- Popsicle molds
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the raw honey, dried lavender petals, and milk.
- Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally. Let it gently steam until it smells fragrant. Avoid boiling, as that can change the delicate flavors of the honey and lavender.
- Once the mixture smells fragrant, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely for about 2 hours. This allows the lavender to fully infuse into the honey.
- After it has cooled, strain the mixture for a smoother texture. Then stir in the Greek yogurt until everything is well mixed.
- Add the natural food coloring and gently swirl until the mixture becomes a soft lavender color.
- Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Once the popsicles are frozen, enjoy them straight from the freezer on a hot day. They are creamy, floral, lightly sweet, and very refreshing.
