    Lavender Recipes!

    Do you grow lavender?  I love it, it's probably one of the most versatile herbs that I grow.  First of all, it's gorgeous.  I love the soft lavender blossoms as they sway in the breeze.  They release their gentle fragrance.  I would grow it for looks alone.   But it turns out, I love using the lavender for cooking - Lavender Almond Biscotti anyone?  And now, I love using it for alcohol!  Alas, if you don't grow your own lavender, you can easily get some - Organic Culinary Lavender.

    Lavender Infused Gin is so Easy!

    I absolutely love infusing alcohols.  Most of the work is done by time and not by me, and that, my friends, is my kind of task.

    Lavender Infused Gin

    The beauty of lavender infused gin is that very little work is done by anyone – me or father time!  After searching the web, I found that recipes for infused gin ran the gamut from infusing in 4-5 hours to several days.  I took it somewhere in the middle and settled on one day.  One day!  One day is all that is between you and this lovely aromatic gin.

    Decant to a cute bottle and add a cute tag, like this chalkboard label or these craft star tags and you have a wonderful gift!  You could also include my favorite infusion book  Infuse:  Oil, Spirit, Water.

      Hi. I tried it, but there isnt really a lavender flavour. I removed the flowers from the stalks. And put that in for 24hours.
      What is it that I could have done wrong.

        I used dried lavender flowers which have a more intense aroma. If you're using fresh, try leaving it in for 3-4 days or even longer. Did your flowers have a good aroma? Some lavender is more flavorful than others too.

      I love infusing alcohol with aromatics. As you said it does all the work for you and your options are completely endless. Love the synergy between the lavender and gin, very old world.

      I have culinary lavender and the liquor store isn't far away - guess I have no excuse. (Nor do I want one - this sounds like an amazing combination.)
