Essential Culinary Lavender Tips
- Safety First: Only use organic, pesticide-free, culinary-grade lavender.
- Potency Matters: Dried buds are stronger than fresh.
- Conversion: Reduce dried lavender by half (1/2 tsp fresh = 1/4 tsp dried).
- Less is More: Start with a small pinch to avoid a perfume-like taste.

Lavender pairs exceptionally well with:
- Fruits: Lemon, orange, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, peach, pear, apricot, nectarine, apple, and persimmon.
- Other Flavors: Chocolate, honey, and creamy textures.
Delicious Ways to Use It
- Sweet: Ice cream, gelato, sorbet, tarts, galettes, and baked goods.
- Savory: Provençal-style soups, stews, cassoulets, and beurre blanc.
- Drinks & Extras: Fruit syrups, elixirs for champagne, and salad dressings.
Happy Cooking and Baking!
