Lavender Lace - Herbal Tisane - WS

In September, 1620, the Pilgrims left Plymouth, England for a treacherous journey across the oceans to a new world. Landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts on December 26, 1620, they set about rebuilding their lives, erecting new homes and planting their gardens. They could not bring the comforts from home; however, one thing they made sure to bring with them was the wonderfully fragrant & soothing herb, lavender. Thus began lavender cultivation in North America. This tisane brews to a flowery, minty, slightly sweet cup. Ingredients: Organic Cinnamon, Spearmint, Organic Rosemary, Lavender Flowers and Lemon Verbena. Brew Lavender Lace at 212º - steep for 5 minutes. Lavender Lace Whipped Cream I didn’t think that the decadent taste of whipped cream could be improved upon….until now. This infused whipped cream is so delicious I can’t get enough! And the bonus? It’s easy to make. Put 1 cup of heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan on the stove. Heat the cream until it just begins to bubble and steam rises. Remove from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of Lavender Lace herbal tisane. Cover and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain out the herbal blend and chill the infused cream. When chilled whip and enjoy. I used the cream on scones, pies and cakes as well as layered in a parfait glass with blueberries. Try a dollop in a cup of black tea! Yum! Lavender Lace Infused Honey ¼ cup honey (the lighter the honey the more pronounced the flavor of the herbs) 1 tsp Lavender Lace Put the Lavender Lace in a clean jar. Pour the honey over the herbs and seal the jar. Let the herbal blend infuse into the honey for 5 days or more. Strain out the herbs by pouring the honey through a sieve into a clean jar. Perfect in tea as well as on toast, scones and cakes! Lavender Lace Gin & Tonic Infused Gin: Put 1 Tbsp of Lavender Lace in an 8oz jar and cover with gin. Set aside for 5 days to infuse then strain out the herbs. Cocktail: 1oz Lavender Lace Gin 5oz Tonic 1 tsp Hibiscus syrup Place gin, tonic and syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake, then pour into a glass with ice, add a wedge of lime and enjoy!
