Lavender and Gin production

The booming gin industry is always looking for ways to surprise its loyal customers, and lavender has been finding its ways into a variety of gins. But it takes a skilled distiller to know how to get the best from lavender, over-infusing, over-cooking or simply selecting the wrong variety of this plant will do nothing but add a soapy quality to your gin. Likewise, it’s important to find one that isn’t overly pungent so as to allow the other ingredients in gin to also sing.

To get just the right note from your lavender it’s best added at the end rather than allowed to steep with other ingredients.

Lavender and its culinary uses

This delicate blue/purple bloom has been finding its way onto our plates for a while now. The whole flowers can be used to add a floral taste to cakes, biscuits, desserts and savoury dishes – it pairs particularly well with honey.

It’s a common ingredient used in the Province region of the South of France – look out for lavender-infused honey, lavender marshmallows or refreshing lavender sorbet.

Lavender and beauty

Lavender’s most traditional use has been in skincare and beauty products – the dried flowers can be used in potpourri, to make soothing sleep pillows or scented sachets for your wardrobe. It’s believed to have calming and sleep-inducing properties hence why so many sleep-focused products make good use of this flower.

It’s also a popular essential oil for relaxation and blends well with rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, lemon, clary sage, geranium and patchouli oils. It should not be used in pregnancy.

Lavender oil is often blended into skincare ingredients as it has a soothing, calming and anti-inflammatory effect.
