“Just a spoonful of (Lavender) Sugar makes the recipes go ’round”. You and your tasters will be singing this song – no need for Julie Andrews to be present – when you use lavender infused sugar in some of your baking delights.
It is so easy to make, yet it will transform a very tasty treat into divine decadence. My favorite uses for it are:
- Whipping cream
- Peach Cobbler or Crisp
- Lavender Lemonade
- Lavender ‘n Lemon Gelato, Sorbet or Ice Cream
Drumroll, please!
LAVENDER BUDS
1 tsp. dried lavender buds
1 cup powdered sugar
Add both to blender and blend until lavender buds are tiny bits. Use in place of sugar in the above suggested recipes and your own creations. Adjust the amount of lavender buds used to your palate’s preference.
Make cream puffs with Lavender Whipped Cream for the filling and you may find a new favorite thing added to your list!
I definitely need to try cooking with lavender! I’ve been growing it for years, but have only used it for potpourri and in bath water. Thanks for the post!
