Blueberries are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits and pair naturally with floral flavors such as lavender and rose.
Tips and Tricks
- Start with 3 tablespoons of lavender syrup for a lighter floral flavor.
- Use 4 tablespoons if you love a more pronounced lavender taste.
- Wild blueberries create even more blueberry flavor throughout the frozen yogurt.
- Don’t overmix after adding the blueberries if you’d like visible berry pieces.
- Add a bit more blueberries for a stronger, more vibrant color.
- Letting the pint sit on the counter before spinning helps create a smoother texture.
