Our Naturally Grown Culinary Lavender Buds are sifted twice for cooking. Great for any recipe which requires dried lavender. Also wonderful when used to make tea. Use 1 to 2 tsp loose buds per cup for tea or mingle with chamomile and mint! Use for cookies, ice cream, lavender sugar, cakes, beverages, lavender honey and salad dressings.
Measure loosely (do not pack your measure) for recipes. A half ounce of buds measures between 1/2 and 3/4 cup and our 1/4 oz packet already finely ground lavender buds equals about 5 tablespoonfuls loosely packed.
Order as 1/2 oz of the dried buds or 1/4 oz finely ground buds in resealable plastic bag.
