1tablespoondried culinary lavender(or 3 Tablespoons fresh lavender; see note)
Instructions
Pour a few tablespoons sugar and all the lavender into a coffee grinder. (If using a food processor, you may have to use ¼ cup sugar to get the lavender to process finely, as it has a larger bowl.)
Process the sugar and lavender until the lavender is ground finely. This process nearly "powders" the sugar, which is why you don't want to process all the sugar at once.
Pour the sugar/lavender mixture into a bowl with the remaining sugar and whisk to combine. Sugar can be used immediately, and will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to six months. If you used fresh lavender, you may have to stir/break up the sugar occasionally due to the moisture in the fresh flowers.Enjoy!
Notes
Note on lavender: You'll want to make sure that you're using culinary lavender, since other lavenders aren't meant to be eaten and could have been sprayed with harmful chemicals. If you're buying from a farmer's market or growing your own, English Lavender is the variety most commonly used in food.
