Key Benefits
- Australian grown: Sourced from Australian farms, supporting local growers and reducing food miles. Certified organic for a clean, high-quality product.
- Calming and relaxing: Traditionally used to promote relaxation and ease mild nervous tension. The aroma alone may help create a sense of calm.
- Culinary grade: Safe and delicious in cooking and baking. Add to shortbread, scones, honey, sugar, and lavender lemonade for a floral touch.
- Multi-purpose: Use for tea, cooking, sachets, bath soaks, potpourri, and homemade skincare. One of the most versatile dried herbs available.
- Beautiful presentation: The purple flower buds retain their colour and fragrance well when dried, making them ideal for gifts and craft projects.
Lavender tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried lavender to a cup of boiling water. Steep for 5 to 8 minutes (steeping too long can make it bitter). Strain and sweeten with honey if desired. The flavour is floral and slightly sweet.
Blending: Makes a beautiful blend with Chamomile for a calming bedtime tea. Also pairs well with Lemon Balm for a bright, uplifting cup, or with Passionflower for deeper relaxation.
Cooking: Use sparingly in baking (a little goes a long way). Crush buds lightly before adding to shortbread, scone, or cake batters. Infuse into cream, milk, honey, or sugar for a subtle floral flavour.
The word "lavender" comes from the Latin "lavare," meaning "to wash." The Romans added lavender to their bathwater, and the tradition continues today. Lavender sachets placed in drawers and wardrobes have been used for centuries to keep linens fresh and deter moths.
Lavender is generally considered non-toxic to dogs and horses, though cats are more sensitive to essential oils. Dried lavender flowers in small amounts are unlikely to cause issues, but keep concentrated lavender oil away from cats.
