Lavender sugar is a simple and gorgeous way to add soft floral flavor to your favorite baked goods. It's also great in lemonade or iced tea! Make a batch in five minutes then keep it in your pantry until needed.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and the lavender buds to a mortar. Use a pestle to grind the two together to a fine powder.
Add the remaining sugar to a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Add the lavender-sugar powder and stir to combine with the sugar in the jar. Cover tightly and store in a dark cool place until needed.
Notes
The floral flavor of lavender-infused sugar can be quite subtle when added to larger scale recipes like cookies or cake. Adjust the amount of dried lavender buds, adding more as needed.
