Recently had a wine company looking to flavor a Rose wine with lavender. They were inquiring the best methods on doing this. With a little taste testing and exploration we discovered a beautiful way to add lavender extract that accents both the wine and the lavender. See for yourself with our recipe below.  Lavender Infused Wine 1 bottle of wine 1 tsp lavender extract Add 1 tsp of lavender extract to a bottle of wine of your choosing, replace cork or cap and lightly shake to combine. When using lavender extract we feel if you leave the bottle to sit for 24 hours the flavors have time to mingle and blend together. Our favorites have been Riesling, rose, and pinot rose. Because we like our wine to sit and mingle its flavors it isn't as easy to flavor sparkling champagnes and wines as they will lose the sparkle. That has to left for wine companies as they can flavor their batch before adding the carbonation. We would love to see what you try with lavender extract #norwoodlavenderfarm.

Lavender is being used not only in cakes, but as lavender cream frostings or fillings. Decorated on the outside of the cake makes a simple minimalistic but sophisticated impact. Bakeries are doing this by adding lavender extract, and Culinary Lavender. If your baker needs some guidelines we have that here.
Lavender is trending as top dried flower for weddings, parties and special events! It is not hard to see why, as it's beauty, color and fragrance remain exceptional when dried. In addition the focus is on sustainability and eco-friendly flowers, locally sourced and even the ability to reuse event flowers to preserve their memories. The advantages of dried lavender are vast but many also find it more economical over fresh flowers. 
You see now why Dried Lavender is a top contender for wedding flowers and events in 2020! The ability to add a beautiful fragrance, reduce stress and anxiety, add color, be liked by both men and women, be repurposed into so many wonderful projects, along with its environmental, sustainable and economical factors make it a big win for so many.
