(Lavandula officinalis) Lavender is a flowering perennial herb that is native to the Mediterranean, primarily Spain and France. While it is now cultivated in many other places, a vast amount of the lavender available for purchase today is still grown in France. Lavender has been used both medicinally and for cosmetic and culinary purposes for thousands of years.
These beautifully fragrant flowers can be found in lotions, soaps, eye pillows, bath blends, massage blends and more. Muslin bags filled with lavender make a fabulous sachet for your clothing drawer or in the dryer to infuse your clothes with this heady smell. Add some to the bath to help alleviate tension, stress and insomnia.
A popular French blend of herbs for cooking, called Herbes de Provence, sometimes contains lavender flowers and is used on chicken, vegetables and meat. Lavender also enhances tea, cookies, cakes and more.
Medicinally, lavender has been used as a remedy for relieving anxiety and depression and is also beneficial in relieving headaches that are associated with stress. In small amounts, it aids indigestion problems.
Brew 1 tsp of herb in 1 cup of water at 212º – steep for 5 minutes.

I had to try these lovelies! Very fragrant and bright in the tin! I do all sorts of things with this lavender - I drink it plain. I add it to other base teas. Last night, I added 1/2 teaspoon of lavender to 1 1/2 teaspoons of Simpson & Vail’s amazingly delicious cocoa shells. I don’t know why, but this combination is the best. Why do lavender and cocoa shells work together so well? The first steep was a little heavy on the lavender, even with less than a three minute steep. The second steep was much more tempered on the lavender and more of the chocolate peeked through. I tried two teaspoons a couple times by itself, and that was much too much and became a bit bitter. I really like whatever I happen to do with this lavender. Get creative!
Thanks for adding this one to the tea box, tea-sipper! I’ve been meaning to buy some plain lavender forever but never got around to it. I’ve been adding this to earl grey lattes at a ratio of 2 tsp decaf earl grey to 1.5 tsp lavender for a large mug. I’m afraid that regular earl grey will taste boring now! This offers a nice lavender flavor. I’d probably want to try another brand to compare, but I definitely want to buy some lavender from someone. Or maybe grow my own?
Not hard to grow!
I’m starting an herb garden in a few weeks, so I can definitely try it!
I get lavender at the farmer’s market. Lavender latte’s are fabulous, I especially love the flavor with coconut milk! I also make my own deoderizer spray for the house by steeping up a few teaspoons of lavender, letting the brew cool, then mixing it with a teaspoon of lemon juice and putting it in a spray bottle and topping with a bit of water. Has so many uses!
Oh, and with iced tea season here, I also love adding a few teabags full of lavender buds to a pitcher of lemonade! It’s a wonderful flavor combination.
Certainly you can grow it yourself :) And certainly the plant is very pretty in few years!
I absolutely love all these ideas. Another thing I want to try is mixing it with my taro powder and having taro lavender bubble tea!
Lavender black tea is my favorite flavor at my local bubble tea place! I have crushed lavender buds in a coffee/spice grinder to a powder and mixed it with sugar and cocoa powder to make lavender flavored hot chocolate, which is de-li-cious! (Rose cocoa also is great!)
Oooh these are such interesting ideas!
I do lots of things with my Farmer’s Market stash, too. I <3 lavender.
Lavender and cacao shells are great together!
I also love lavender teas, and blending it with cacao shells sounds like it would be good, though I don’t have any to experiment with.
