Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Thank you. I dislike wasting. It would seem we should be able to use the whole plant. My daughter wants us to make Lavender lemonade as she does not like tea. Gayle ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 http://www.dancingearth.com/Lavender-1.htm Can use the leaves with the flowers to make a sachet. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Lavender.htm " The spikes and leaves of lavender can be used in most dishes in place of rosemary in most recipes. Use the spikes or stems for making fruit or shrimp kabobs. Just place your favorite fruit on the stems and grill. " http://www.hort.vt.edu/faculty/relf/4984/herbd.html " The oil from the leaves supposedly killed yellow fever " germs. " Lavender actually does contain a powerful antiseptic called eucalyptol. " http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_lavender.htm " Use dried lavender -leaves, buds, and flowers -to season meat and vegetable dishes. Add flowering tips and freshly chopped leaves to dressings, salads, wine, and vinegar. " http://www.squidoo.com/uses-for-spices/ " Lavender leaves: Lavender can grow easily both indoors and outdoors. It is not generally consumed but is used in aromatherapy. The leaves of the plant are dried and used in potpourris as well as in sachets. " http://www.herbnet.com/lavender2003.pdf From Herbalpedia, " leaves and flowers can be used fresh in salads and fruit dishes, or added to cooked sauces, candies and baked goods. When dried they are used in jellies. " Scroll down a page or two and you can find " French Lavender Sleep Cocktail " which uses 60 fresh lavender leaves. That should give you a few things to think about.
