[Sca-cooks] Edible Violet Water?-Lavender

[Jill B]

There is a lavender that is called a "culinary" lavender that you can use to cook with to your hearts content :)  I make jam, tea, cookies, cakes and all sorts of sweet things and use it on pork and chicken.  Also, Herbs de Provence has lavender in it.
