Lavender Honey Candy

The Pedigree of Honey Does Not Concern the Bee Emily Dickinson knew that bees don’t care what’s fashionable. Stand near a lavender field in early summer and you’ll hear the proof before you smell it: the whole field hums. Bees work lavender relentlessly, row after purple row, which is how the flower earned its permanent place in our world, in our teas, our body care, and now in a candy. The flavor is floral but grounded. A drop opens with honey, and then the lavender arrives, herbal at the edges, unmistakably itself, never soapy or perfumed. It finishes the way the scent of a lavender field follows you up the road: present, then gently gone. Each hexagon-window box holds 3.5 ounces of drops made without corn syrup and without gluten. The box is sustainably made paper you can recycle or compost, and the inner bag is recyclable food-grade plastic. What Makes Our Lavender Honey Candy Special? All natural lavender flavor: True to the flower, not to a soap aisle. Five ingredients total: Non-GMO sugar, honey, water, all natural lavender flavor, and Non-GMO coconut oil. Honey first, then the bloom: The flavor arrives in order. Honey opens, and the lavender unfolds behind it, floral and light. A bee’s favorite flower: Lavender is one of the most pollinator-loved plants in any garden, a fitting flavor for a beekeeper’s candy line. Gluten-free and corn-syrup-free: Made without gluten or corn syrup. Produced in a facility that handles peanuts and tree nuts. Thoughtful packaging: A sustainably made paper box with a honeycomb window, recyclable or home-compostable when clean and dry. Taste the field the bees chose. How to use: Eat them right out of the box.Set the box out with afternoon tea; in Provence, lavender and a hot cup have kept company for centuries. Let a drop dissolve in warm milk or a London Fog for a light lavender-honey sweetener. Try one alongside a lemon honey drop, tang and florals in one bite, like a Provençal market in candy form. Store in a cool, dry place away from sun and humidity.
