Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lavender flowers
  • 1 gallon vanila ice cream

Instructions

  • Combine the water, sugar, blueberries and lavender flowers in a medium saucepan and heat on medium heat.
  • Bring to a low simmer and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved and blueberries have just started to break down.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Add the mixture to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour through a strainer.
  • Pour into a baking dish and put it in the freezer. Freeze for an hour and scrape the mixture to create ice crystals. Repeat this process every hour until completely frozen, about 4 hours. You can skip the scraping and freeze first and then scrape with a fork, this method creates smaller crystals.
  • Place a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream into a small glass and top with a few scoops of blueberry lavender granita. Enjoy immedietly!
