- Be sure to use full fat coconut milk rather than low fat coconut milk for making these popsicles. Low fat coconut milk has more water in it so it would make these popsicles icy rather than creamy.
- You can use either fresh or dried lavender flowers for this recipe. Just be sure that that they are food grade or culinary grade, meaning they are free from pesticides and other added chemicals.
- After taking the popsicle mold out of the freezer, run the mold under hot water for a few seconds to make the popsicles easier to remove from the mold.
