Lavender Sugar

Transform ordinary sugar into an elegant culinary ingredient. Perfect for baking, beverages, and gourmet gifts—simple to make and endlessly versatile.

What Is Lavender Sugar?

Lavender sugar is simply granulated sugar infused with dried lavender buds. The essential oils from the lavender gently flavor the sugar, creating a subtle floral sweetness that elevates desserts, drinks, and baked goods.

It’s one of the easiest value-added products to make—requiring only two ingredients and a few days of infusion time. The result is a gourmet ingredient that commands premium pricing at markets and makes an impressive gift.
