All Things Lavender Tea

We recently held a lavender themed evening tea in Sweet Remembrances. The majority of the lavender recipes (marked with an *) were prepared using recipes from The Lavender Cookbook by Sharon Shipley. It was a delightful evening tea followed by a program presented by Madelaine and Tom Wadja of Willow Pond Herb Farm in Fairfield, PA. They have an annual Lavender Festival that is quite enjoyable.

Spring Greens with Raspberries, Blueberries

    I made it to your lovely "Everthing's Coming Roses" tea and will have to try to make it to the lavender one someday!! It sounded fantastic.

    I love using lavender in food! Especially desserts -- have not tried some of those recipes but may have to soon! I did sprinkle lavender on top of a regular chocolate cake . . . and the flavor . . . and a bud of lavender in a bowl of spring pea soup -- heavenly!
