I like this season...

This time of year, the berries start to ripen and the lavender blooms. The combination is heavenly. Mmmm, berries!
LAVENDER SUGAR
You'll need a spice grinder or an old coffee grinder that you've cleaned well enough to remove the smell of coffee.

1 t Lavender, dried (Some is called "culinary" - just make sure it is chemical-free.)
3 t Sugar, granulated.

Put both into the grinder and whiz around in 20-second bursts (so it doesn't get to hot and melt the sugar) until all that's left is a fine powder. Taste. If too lavendery, add more sugar and whiz some more. Or just mix with granulated sugar. Sprinkle on anything.
