Notes

  1. Notes on culinary lavender: technically, all lavender is edible. However, make sure you're using culinary-grade lavender for cooking. Culinary lavender, also known as English lavender has fewer essential oils than aromatic lavender used in perfumes or soaps. It's sweeter and won't give you that soapy taste.
  2. Store the lavender syrup in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to use it in iced teas and cocktails, as well.
  3. Store leftover lavender buds in an airtight container in a dark and dry place (just like other herbs). It will stay fragrant for 1 to 3 years.
