Lavender Flowers 4 oz (Lavanda, Culinary Dried Lavender) for Lavender Tea

Lavender is the fragrant flowering herb Lavandula angustifolia, famous for its purple spikes and unmistakable sweet, floral scent. Ours are whole organic or wildcrafted culinary flowers sourced from France, dried and loose, ready for the teapot or the kitchen. In Spanish it is called lavanda. Each bag contains 4 oz.

Beyond its beloved aroma, lavender is a real culinary flower. It steeps into a delicate floral tea, blends beautifully with chamomile, and flavors lavender lemonade, simple syrups, honey, shortbread, and baked goods. A little goes a long way, so a pinch is usually plenty. These are food grade flowers, not potpourri, so they are ready to cook and steep with.

We keep it simple, just whole dried lavender flowers with nothing added. Store the bag sealed and away from heat and light to hold the fragrance.

Store tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.

Culinary lavender is lavender grown and handled for food rather than for scent. This is Lavandula angustifolia, the variety used in cooking, and it is food grade, not potpourri and not craft filler. It goes into lavender lemonade, simple syrup, shortbread and baked goods, and a pinch is usually plenty.

What goes well with lavender?
It is bold and perfumed, so it wants something soft next to it rather than another strong flavour. Chamomile flowers, loose is the classic pairing, and the two together are what "té de lavanda y manzanilla" means in Spanish. It also works in a lavender sweetener and in blueberry lavender tea.
