Briefly, no. Artificial sweeteners don't crystallize properly.
I'm interested in the idea of a lavender rock candy. Personally, I'd be
fooling around with lemon, mint, cherry, or ginger flavorings before I
ever got
around to lavender. This is the stuff people sucked on for sore throats
or dry
throats (from speech-making) before medicated cough drops came to grace
us
with their presence. Slippery elm, anyone?
I'm working on ginger and rose also. I plan to try mint and violet once
I can pick them fresh from the garden. I'm allergic to all forms of
citrus, thus lemon is off limits to me...I don't have the willpower to
resist tastin it!

Greetings Ardenia,
Try Nuhud al-'Adhra (Virgin's Breasts) version 2 from my article at
http://windchild.net/islamic_pastries.htm . It is one of my favorites.
