Stillroom Notes

This is not the lavender we use in soaps, sachets, or crafting—it’s far too special. Ultra Blue is reserved for your kitchen and bar, where it shines brightest. Keep it dry, use it often, and you’ll find yourself reaching for it more than you’d ever expect.

Simple Recipe

Lavender Simple Syrup
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tbsp Ultra Blue Culinary Lavender

Bring sugar and water to a simmer, stirring until dissolved. Add lavender and simmer 5–10 minutes. Taste for strength. Let cool, strain, and store in a bottle in the fridge.

Try it in:
– Lemonades and iced tea
– Over vanilla cake or scones
– Cocktails like Lavender Gin Fizz or Lavender Collins

A Farm Story: The Lavender Soap Lesson

When I first started making soap nearly 30 years ago, I was certain that adding fresh lavender buds would be beautiful. What I didn’t know is that those lovely blue blossoms would turn completely black during the hot process cure—like little mouse droppings! That batch didn’t make it to the market table, but the scent was as lovely as ever, and it taught me an unforgettable lesson about what to use where.
Today, I’ve perfected the art of lavender soaps—but not with Ultra Blue. This lavender belongs in the kitchen, not the cure pot.
