Pineapple-Lavender Juice

Beautiful, dark purple lavender flowers add a touch of the French countryside to any dish. Here they are used to infuse pineapple juice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pineapple
  • 1 Tbs. fresh pesticide-free lavender blossoms
  • Crushed ice as needed
  • Lavender sprigs for garnish

Directions:

Peel and core the pineapple and cut it into spears. In an extractor, juice the lavender followed by the pineapple.

Fill 2 or 3 glasses with crushed ice and pour in the juice. Garnish with lavender sprigs and serve immediately. Serves 2 or 3.
