These sweet little ladies are perfect with a cup of tea. My personal favourite is dipping one in a London Fog. Lavender is super trendy at the moment, which suits me just fine. It has always been a favourite infusion in many of my spring dishes. It can add a very nice floral note (mostly as an aromatic experience), but can throw off the flavour completely and become very bitter if done incorrectly.
For this, I simply use my favourite shortbread recipe and replace the regular sugar with lavender infused sugar. I make my own, but I was turned on by the idea by a lavender farm in Bear River, Nova Scotia (not all that far from where I grew up), called Sledding Hill. You can purchase Lavender Baking sugar from them online. It's really a lovely product.
