Lavender & Chai

For millennia, the sweet smell of lavender was prized for its relaxing and calming influences. We just think it tastes great, which is why we use it to infuse PURE maple syrup with unique floral qualities. Lavender’s fragrant and slightly spicy notes are perfectly balanced by deep and dusky Indian masala. It’s the ideal complement to sweet treats like panna cotta, crème brulee, tea cakes or scones. The lavender really pops when we drizzle it over strong, aged cheeses such as cheddar or gouda. For something more subtle, sweeten a café latte with it – delicious!

How To Use

  • Panna cotta and crème brulee
  • Tea cakes and scones
  • Warm drinks (coffee, tea, lattes or hot chocolate)
  • Cold drinks (homemade iced tea or lemonade)
  • Strong aged cheeses such as cheddar or gouda (the lavender really pops!)
  • Paired with fresh peaches, blueberries, strawberries or raspberries (even a fresh fruit salad)
  • Liberally brush it on fresh pineapple, peaches or pears before grilling for a truly sensational caramelized treat.
