What Does Lavender Taste Like?
Lavender tastes fragrant, as one might anticipate, but it also gives recipes a subtle mint flavour. Remember that it can overwhelm a meal and that a little goes a long way.
Some find lavender to taste soapy, while others find it to be calming due to the presence of linalool in it.

The general procedure is to freeze for 20 to 30 minutes, take it out, whisk or mix it, and then put it back in the freezer.
Repeat this process every 20 to 30 minutes until the mixture is thick, hard, and the right texture is achieved.
