It is best to use the actual bud or other nonconcentrated form of flavoring together with a lot of patience. My favorite method is to use a vaccuum container and a sachet of flavorings mixed with plain white rice to absorb any moisture that would cause the sugar to clump.

There is a mild lavender flavor as well as a wonderful lavender aroma in lavender sugar.<br /><br />Good luck if you try the recipe. Come back and let us know how it goes.<br /><br />SaraThe Herb Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582909620746871601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-48125748494102922472011-07-28T12:57:57.810-04:002011-07-28T12:57:57.810-04:00Great post!
