A flowering member of the mint family, Lavender is widely known for its distinct sweet aroma. Commonly used in cooking and baking, especially in English cuisine. Most notably, Lavender oil is used in practices of herbalism as an aid in reducing restlessness and insomnia.
Origin: China | We recommend referring to a healthcare practitioner before using herbs and spices, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
Much of the folklore surrounding lavender is quite ancient. Cleopatra is said to have worn its scent to seduce Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and some claim the asp that delivered her fatal bite was hidden amongst her lavender bushes. Additionally, European royalty made lavish use of lavender in perfumes and foods. In the Tudor era, young maidens would sip on lavender tea and recite, "St. Luke, St. Luke, be kind to me. In my dreams, let me my true love see."

“ Yes, Heather. We would recommend using only a few of the lavender flowers with 212° F for 3 minutes! But that is only a suggestion, you can do whatever you like best! ”

“ I was thinking of adding this to my earl grey and doing a DIY version of Starbucks London Fog. I don't have Earl Grey in a blend, so rather than buying a blend, I'll buy lavender to change up my earl grey (and even my black teas) from time to time ”
