Lavender

Ever since seeing this recipe I have been dying to make these Honey Lavender Lemon Shortbread Cookies. We bought some lavender yesterday in preparation, and it turns out Lavender is a lot more versatile than I anticipated! I ended up with a cup of Lavender Syrup, Lavender Cookies, and some Lavender Limeade! The entire house smelled like Lavender by the time I was done, which was a lovely surprise.

Lavender Syrup

And I can't forget to mention the AMAZING hot chocolate Bryan made from scratch last night-- I topped mine with sea salt, nutmeg and cayenne. In retrospect, Lavender would have worked, too!!
