Instructions

Prep lavender simple syrup: Add all ingredients to a sauté pan, simmer for 10 minutes and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For the vanilla ice cream base, add Bored Cow Original, soaked cashews, coconut milk, dates, salt, vanilla and lemon juice to a high powdered blender and blend until smooth.
Add half of this base mixture to an ice tray and place in the freezer.
With the remaining half of the base, add berries and lavender syrup and blend until smooth.
Add this mixture to another ice tray or the remainder of the first ice tray and freeze overnight.
Once the bases have frozen solid, add the frozen vanilla blocks back to a blender with a bit of extra Bored Cow Original and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Add the blueberry lavender blocks to a blender with a bit of extra Bored Cow Original and blend until smooth.
In a separate container, swirl and mix the two flavors, or keep them separate. Scoop, and enjoy!
