Chef's Note & Story
The intensity of lavender and mint flavors can be easily adjusted by adding more or less herbs or by steeping for longer or shorter periods of time.
Well it took me straigt to it ths time. But appears I
got 1 ahead of me. Maybe next time. Sounds like a good drink Got to try it.
Yum-o! Lavender is such an under-used ingredient and this sounds delicious!
