Tips
If you don't have access to lavender, you can easily substitute it with other aromatic herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile. Similarly, if lemon is not your preferred citrus fruit, you can use orange or lime instead, adjusting the other ingredients accordingly to maintain the balance of flavors. Experimenting with different herbs and fruits allows you to create unique and personalized desserts that still retain the essence of the original recipe.
