Where can I buy culinary lavender

Marie

Hi Marie! You can find culinary lavender at delis and gourmet food markets – Herbie’s Spices is a good brand. Otherwise, if you’re lucky enough to have some in your garden (and provided it isn’t sprayed with pesticides etc), you can pull the flowers off and toss them in sugar to soak up some of the moisture. Happy baking!
