Lavender Sugar

This sugar is a way of adding a subtle herb flavour to cakes and deserts or baked goods.

Ingredients:

1 cup tightly packed Lavender, bruised not chopped

1,5 cups (170g) granulated sugar

To Make:

• Layer the Lavender and sugar in a wide-necked jar with a lid.
• Cover securely and let it stand for 2 to 3 weeks in a warm place.
• Sift the herbs from the sugar and place a layer of new, dried herbs in the bottom of the jar.
• Pour the sugar on top of the dried Lavender and store in a cool place for up to 9 months.
