Lavender Honey Sorbet
Lavender honey sorbet is a sophisticated and unique dessert that combines the floral aroma of lavender with the natural sweetness of honey. Lavender has been used for centuries for medicinal and culinary purposes, especially in the French Provence region, where the scent of lavender fields is famous worldwide. The history of sorbets dates back to ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was consumed as a refreshment. In the modern version, the soothing scent of lavender and the silky sweetness of honey create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of lavender honey sorbet melting in your mouth, pampering all your senses with its floral aroma and cooling effect!

Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the honey and dried lavender. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
2
Remove from the heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes to fully release the lavender's aroma.
3
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender flowers. Let it cool completely.
4
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, then pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.
5
Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create a crystal-like texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until fully frozen.
6
Before serving, let the sorbet stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with fresh lavender or lemon zest.
