Lavender and citrus burst in flavor for this fun inspiring recipe. After buying a bag or oranges and contemplating how to use them, we decided to blend into our lavender scone mix, we came up with this delightful treat. So many enjoy lemon and lavender together and we think that lavender with any citrus brightens the day. Lavender Citrus Scones with Lavender Orange Glaze
1 package Norwood Lavender Farm Lavender Scone Mix 1 egg 1/2 cup orange juice 1/3 cup butter zest from one orange In a medium sized baking bowl combine lavender scone mix, and butter, using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until combined, add egg, orange juice and orange zest. Stir until mixed together. Add dough onto a greased baking sheet shaping into a 8 inch circle, or roll dough using a little extra flour so dough doesn't stick to rolling pin or hands. Cut out 8 circles and lay on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at preheated 425℉ oven for 13-15 minutes or until top is slightly golden. Lavender Orange Glaze 1 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 Tbsp orange juice 1/2 tsp lavender extract 1/2 tsp grated orange peel In a small mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, orange juice, lavender extract and grated orange peel. Stir until smooth, it should be the consistency of heavy syrup. When scones are golden and still warm from the oven drizzle a teaspoon of glaze over the the top of scones, garnish with a few culinary lavender flower buds and fresh orange zest. Enjoy!

We are addicted to Lavender Earl Grey lattes at our house. I was thinking about how to use it in other ways and this is what happened...a Lavender Earl Grey Latte Pie...umm, yes! We started our obsession with Lavender Earl Grey when we discovered about making tea concentrates. You can see our post on that here, but I will sum it up. It is a concentrated tea made with 2-3x the tea and simmered a touch longer than just your average tea. Once it is cooled it can last in your refrigerator for 3-4 days. This allows you to be able to make ice cold tea in just minutes. You place in a glass ice, half of concentrate and half water (or milk). I have included the recipe below so you don't have to go back and forth. This pie is delicious with our Lavender Shortbread Cookie crust, but you can use whatever crust you desire. But the shortbread cookie lends itself so well in this recipe. Here is the recipe for concentrate as you will use it in the recipe for the latte pie.
Lavender Earl Grey Latte Pie
1 cup Lavender Earl Grey Tea concentrate 1 cup milk 1/4 cup lavender simple syrup 3 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch 1/4 cup milk In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Set aside. In a small saucepan, over medium heat bring 1 cup milk, 1 cup Lavender Earl Grey Tea concentrate, and lavender simple syrup to a simmer. Stir frequently as to not scorch your milk to the bottom of the pan. When you have reached a simmer gradually whisk cornstarch mixture into tea and hot milk. Stir while it returns to a simmer and thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Pour pudding into pie shell. Refrigerate for about 3 hours or until chilled. Serve with lots of whip cream it adds the creamy latte flavor. Yummy and delicious, what more can you ask for! Chocolate Lavender Espresso Cake
1 pkg Chocolate Lavender Cake Mix 3/4 cup espresso or strong coffee 2 Tbsp oil 1 egg Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray or line muffin cups or baking pan. In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, coffee, oil and egg. Blenon with a mixer on high for 2 minutes. Divide mix evenly into baking cups and cook 19-23 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Frost with Chocolate Lavender Espresso frosting. 1 pkg Chocolate Lavender Frosting Mix 2 Tbsp of coffee or water Blend until smooth with a handheld mixer. Frost cooled cupcakes. |
