Lavender
This ice cream recipe is from www.lavenderwind.com
1 C = cup = 2,3 dl.
tsp = teaspoon = 5 ml.
LWF Lavender Vanilla Ice
2 C Heavy cream
1 C Milk
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 C Sugar
2 Finely ground lavender
This is a very pure lavendery ice cream. It's important to grind up the
lavender as finely as possible - both for better flavor and for better
texture.
Using an automatic ice cream maker - pour all the chilled ingredients
into the ice cream maker's bowl and process until it's as firm as you
want it. Transfer the ice cream into containers and put in your freezer
to get a bit harder.
Enjoy!

Culinary Lavender, Which to Use
Lavender
Which lavender to use in cooking? When I searched the Intenet I found the answer here:
It is usually the English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) buds that are used in cooking. The English lavender is the preferred lavender of choice for cooking because of its sweet fragrance. There are two main types of Lavender used for cooking:
English Lavender known as Lavendula angustifolia officianalis (also known as True Lavender or Vera)
Lavendula x intermedia "Provence" (a hybrid).
We suggest "Provence"* as a culinary lavender as the most appealing as it has a lower camphor and resin content than "Officianalis".

Make Your Own Lavender Potpourri
Lavender
When making potpourri you can use almost anything in your garden to make an aromatic potpourri mixture.
Traditionally, potpourri is a mixture of dried flowers and other ingredients,
placed in open containers, like small bowls or cups and placed to allow their
aroma to delicately scent the room. Sachets are usually small cloth "pillows" containing potpourri, which can be used almost anywhere. Sachets have the
advantage of being portable, you can place them in drawers, pin them to pillows, or carry them in your purse wherever you go.
Generally, potpourri ingredients should not be finely ground, petals of flowers should be lightly crushed. Ingredients such as cinnamon sticks or orange peels
should be broken into small pieces or finely chopped.
Some flowers that are especially good to use in potpourri as well as some herbs that work well in potpourri.
Experiment, use your imagination and whatever you have at hand. Get recipes and lists of flowers and herbs to use, in my newletter...
