Remove from heat and let steep for 2-3 minutes. If you want a stronger lavender taste, use the back of a fork to mash the lavender against the side of the pot/mug in the milk. Strain milk though a mesh sieve to catch all the lavender and discard remaining buds.

or hand blender to froth remaining hot milk. Pour into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Makes one serving.
