Tips
This dessert sounds absolutely delicious! However, if you don't have lavender or matcha green tea on hand, there are some great ingredient substitutions you can make. Instead of lavender, you could try using rose petals or chamomile for a similar floral flavor. If you don't have matcha green tea, you could use regular green tea or even a touch of mint extract for a refreshing twist. Lastly, if you don't have pineapple sorbet, you could use any other fruity sorbet or even a scoop of tart lemon or passionfruit sorbet for that tangy element. Happy experimenting!
