Herb - English Lavender Munstead English Lavender Munstead flowers profusely in the spring, after which a good pruning will provide an attractive gray bush with highly aromatic leaves. This compact variety of English lavender has lavender blue flowers. Add a tablespoon of finely chopped lavender flowers to any sugar or butter cookie recipe or add two tablespoons to any pound cake or white cake. This makes an elegant addition to tea time. Munsteads are also good for butters and cream cheese recipes. Pick the edible flowers when just opened and not when they start to turn brown. Waiting even a day or two to pick, can affect the flavor. Lavender flowers can be fresh-frozen or dried. |
