Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Vegan Lavender Buttercream
  1. Infuse the Lavender: Combine dried culinary lavender with dairy-free milk in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Strain the Mixture: Strain the lavender milk into a clean bowl to remove the lavender buds.
  3. Cream the Butter: In a mixer, beat dairy-free butter and vanilla extract until creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Icing Sugar: Gradually add icing sugar while mixing on low speed, then increase speed to medium.
  5. Add Infused Milk: Slowly add lavender-infused milk and mix until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Adjust Consistency: If too thick, add more dairy-free milk; if too thin, add more icing sugar.
  7. Add Final Touches: Mix in a pinch of salt and optional gel food coloring.
  8. Store or Pipe: Refrigerate buttercream in an airtight container or pipe it onto cooled desserts.
