Lavender.

Lavender is a great addition to any dessert or dish. It offers a floral complex taste and acts well as a secondary note. Culinary lavender is often english lavender and must be used for cooking. Be careful using just any lavender as some are sprayed with pesticides.

Flavor Profile: Floral, sweet, citrus notes.

 

Tip: The flavor increases as lavender is dried.

After drying lavender, place in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid to allow the oil to not escape.

When cooking with lavender if you use dried lavender use 1/3 the amount that you would use of fresh.

Adding too much lavender will make all your food taste like an old ladi’s perfume.
