Coconut Lavender Iced Brew
This refreshing drink is a delightful blend of coconut and lavender, perfect for warm days when you want something soothing yet invigorating. I love how the floral notes of lavender complement the creaminess of coconut beautifully.

It was one of those moments where the world slowed down, and each sip felt like a mini-vacation.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Culinary lavender is a must for this recipe. Regular lavender can be too strong and bitter. If you can’t find dried lavender, you could try using a lavender-infused tea instead. And remember, coconut milk adds a lovely creaminess, but you can also use almond or oat milk if you prefer those flavors.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my coconut milk in a glass jar in the fridge, so it’s always ready for recipes like this.
- •When brewing the lavender tea, don’t skip the steeping time—it really allows those beautiful flavors to develop.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty twist.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll blend in a banana for a creamier, smoothie-like texture.
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again, as the coconut milk may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh lavender instead of dried?
You can, but be careful with the amount. Fresh lavender is usually much stronger, so try using only 1 tablespoon and taste before adding more.
