Lavender question

[soniaweir]

hi
i've just cut back my lavender flowers, i believe it's the time to do it. I would like to use the lavender fro something as it smells so nice...where can i get lavender bags to fill? any other ideas on what i can do with it? thanks all!

Amazon do gorgeous organza bags in a variety of colours - £9.99 for fifty.

I have also used the little bouquet garni bags you can buy at cook shops.

thanks just bought! sx

I bunch up and hang upside down in the kitchen also grind up the little bits and place in small baskets in the bedrooms like pot pourri (you refresh with essential oils)

Lavender shortbread - just add 2 Tbsp of lavender leaves to your recipe ...

Lavender ice-cream - don't have a recipe but have eaten it in a restaurant. Guess you infuse the cream with lavender then sieve it out?

Put lavender in a bouquet garni bag and hang around the bathtap with the hot water running over it. Enjoy a relaxing soak.
