Combine the 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk and the 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender buds in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm until the milk just begins to steam and small bubbles form at the edges, about 4–5 minutes — do not boil. Remove from heat, cover, and steep for 10 minutes, then strain out the lavender buds and discard them. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes until slightly curdled.
