I was gifted some lavender, which my friend grew and dried herself. I love the scent of lavender and the wonderful fragrance it adds to baked goods, so I was excited to try incorporating it into my baking. The first step was figuring out how to work with it, and after consulting with a chef friend of mine I decided making it into lavender sugar would be a good start.

• 2 tsp dried lavender
• 1 cup sugar

Grind the lavender in a food processor until it is chopped into fine pieces.

Add half of the sugar and blend until the lavender is finely ground.

Add the rest of the sugar and pulse a couple times to mix everything together. Allow to rest for at least a day before using to let the lavender flavor infuse into the sugar.
