The Basics


Lavender simple syrup
Ingredients
  • 1 c water
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 TB culinary lavender buds
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.  
  2. Turn down the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 10 minutes. 
  3. Set aside and let the mixture cool for about ½ hour.  
  4. Strain the lavender buds from the mix and pour into a bottle.  
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks

Herbes de Provence
This is a traditional seasoning widely used in Mediterranean cooking. There are many different versions of this recipe, so this is just one suggestion.  I vary my recipe depending on how much of different herbs I have on hand. Use it to season lamb or poultry, in a honey glaze for pork or roasted turkey, and with roasted onions, garlic, and other root vegetables. I love sprinkling it on roasted potatoes.

Note: Use well-dried, organic herbs.

• 1/4 cup thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup summer savory leaves
• 3 tablespoons basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons crushed oregano
• 2 tablespoons crushed rosemary leaves
• 1 tablespoon crushed culinary lavender buds

1. Mix everything together and store in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place.
2. Just before using, crush and add to foods.
​

Lavender Sugar
Ingredients
  • 1 Tb culinary lavender buds
  • 2 c. granulated sugar
Directions
1. Put lavender buds and 1/4 c of the sugar into spice grinder or clean coffee grinder and blend until mixture is powdery. (about a minute)
2. Add this mixture to the remaining sugar in a container with a tight-fitting lid
3. Allow mixture to sit for 3 days so that lavender can infuse the sugar
