This Earl Grey Lavender Milkshake is like sipping on a warm summer breeze wrapped in a creamy, citrusy hug.

It combines the calming floral notes of lavender and Earl Grey tea with the smooth richness of vanilla ice cream and a bright splash of orange juice.

Whether you’re indulging in a cozy afternoon treat or impressing guests with an elegant twist on a classic, this milkshake is simply unforgettable.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Elegant flavor combo – Lavender and Earl Grey are a floral-citrus dream.

Rich and creamy – Vanilla ice cream makes it decadently smooth.

Naturally sweetened – A touch of honey enhances without overwhelming.

Gourmet feel, simple prep – Looks fancy, but comes together in minutes.

Perfect for brunch or dessert – Great for special occasions or a cozy treat.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Milk – Forms the tea-infused base, rich and mellow.

Earl Grey tea – Infused with bergamot, it adds signature citrus notes.

Dried culinary lavender – A gentle floral accent that feels luxurious.

Vanilla ice cream – Brings creaminess and that sweet, nostalgic flavor.

Honey – Natural sweetness with warm undertones.

Fresh orange juice – Adds brightness and a citrus twist.

Optional garnish – Fresh orange slices and lavender buds for presentation.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Don’t boil the milk – Just steam it to avoid scalding or bitterness.

Cool the milk fully – Prevents melting the ice cream too quickly.

Strain well – Removes tea leaves and lavender bits for a smooth sip.

Use culinary lavender only – Other types may taste bitter or soapy.

Use quality vanilla ice cream – It’s the creamy heart of the milkshake.

How to Make Earl Grey Lavender Milkshake

Step 1: Steep the Tea
Heat 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan until steaming (not boiling).

Add 2 tbsp loose-leaf Earl Grey tea (or 2 tea bags) and 1 tsp dried culinary lavender.

Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Strain and let cool completely.

Step 2: Blend It All
In a blender, combine the cooled infused milk, 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 2 tbsp honey (adjust to taste), and the juice of ½ a fresh orange.

Step 3: Blend Until Creamy
Blend on high until smooth and frothy.

If the shake is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add more ice cream.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Pour into glasses and garnish with orange slices and a sprinkle of lavender buds.

Serve immediately.

What to Serve It With

Lemon shortbread cookies – Their buttery crunch pairs beautifully.

Vanilla bean scones – A soft, tea-time favorite to complement the shake.

Fresh fruit platter – Adds brightness and balances the richness.

Tea sandwiches – For a classy brunch or tea party feel.

Variations / Substitutions

Dairy-free – Use oat milk and coconut-based vanilla ice cream.

Stronger citrus – Add extra orange zest for a bigger zing.

Extra chill – Blend in ice cubes for a frostier version.

More floral – Add a few edible rose petals for garnish.

Alcoholic twist – Add a splash of orange liqueur or lavender gin.

Storage & Leftovers

Best fresh – Milkshakes are meant to be enjoyed immediately.

Short-term – Store in the fridge for up to 4 hours and stir before drinking.

Prep tip – Steep and chill the tea base ahead of time for faster blending.

Avoid freezing – Texture changes once thawed.

FAQs

Can I use decaf Earl Grey?
Yes, perfect for evening treats without the caffeine kick.

What kind of milk works best?
Whole milk gives the creamiest texture, but almond or oat milk are great too.

Can I use ice instead of ice cream?
It’ll make a slushie, not a milkshake. Ice cream is key for richness.

How strong is the lavender flavor?
Mild and balanced—it enhances, not overwhelms. Feel free to reduce if preferred.

What’s a good substitute for honey?
Maple syrup or agave work well as natural sweeteners.

Can I skip the orange juice?
You can, but it really brightens up the flavor—try lemon if you need a swap.

What kind of vanilla ice cream is best?
Classic vanilla bean with real vanilla adds the most depth.

Final Thoughts

This Earl Grey Lavender Milkshake is like a garden party in a glass.

It’s indulgent yet balanced, sophisticated yet simple.

The combination of floral, citrus, and creamy elements makes it an unforgettable drink for any time you want to treat yourself or impress guests.

I love making it as a brunch surprise or winding down with it on a warm evening.
