What to do with lavender
This post expired on November 11, 2023.
Fresh or dried flowers can stand alone as an herbal tea. They blend well with cake, cookies, muffins jellies, black tea, fruit and eggs but the key is to use it sparingly. The taste will be soapy if you use too much. The leaves can be used anywhere you use the flowers SPARINGLY and fresh. If you cook the leaves they may turn bitter. I make an awesome vinegar by filling a jar with the leaves, covering with vinegar and waiting for at least a month, the longer the better. Strain out the leaves and use the vinegar in a fruit drink or salad dressing. For a great salad dressing using fresh flowers look in the recipe section for Lavender and Honey Salad Dressing.
