EASY HOMEMADE LAVENDER SCENTED AND INFUSED VINEGAR

Easy Homemade Lavender Scented and Infused Vinegar image

A wonderful addition to any cook's pantry, this lavender infused vinegar is easy to make and adds a certain j' nés quoi to any savoury dish. Use it in my Lavender Mayonnaise or to flavour a salad dressing - all the lavender taste but not the chewy lavender buds! This vinegar retains not only the flavour of the lavender, but also the fragrance too. If you have the lavender bushes, it is worth making a few bottles of this, it will enliven any drear winter's day and makes a great gift for a foodie friend. This is a Francis Bissell recipe, from a great little cookbook that my daughter bought for me this Mother's Day!

LAVENDER SCENTED AND INFUSED VODKA

Lavender Scented and Infused Vodka image

An easy and stunning flavoured vodka to make at home. I always try to make a least one bottle when I harvest my fresh lavender, as it works so much better with fresh lavender rather than dried lavender. I sometimes add a couple of strips of orange peel for a more subtle and complex flavour. This lavender scented vodka is excellent in Martinis! Make sure your lavender is free of insects and pesticides, just give the stems a gentle shake outside before using. I have also used this lavender vodka in poached fruit, as well as a splashing some of over poached salmon - absolutley divine!
