The delightful smell of lavender is one of my favorite scents from Mother Nature. Much like coconut oil lavender has many uses outside of cooking. Most people are more familiar with lavenders use in soup and essential oils than they are with its ability to infuse foods with natural herbal flavor.

 When infusing lavender into foods be sure to purchase culinary grade lavender from your local farmers market. Also keep in mind that a little goes a long way. Strong flavors like lavender complement other bold tastes like lemon. My favorite use for lavender is in the baking realm. A simple syrup can be infused to make tea, lemonade or a flavored sparkling water. Shortbread cookies can come alive with a delicate lavender infusion into the sugar. The possibilities abound, watch the blog of unique lavender recipes.
