 Lavender Apple Chai Tea
Submitted by Nancy Baggett
Lavender-apple spice tea is a simple, truly delightful way to answer the question, “I have some culinary lavender buds, what can I do with them?” If you prefer to avoid caffeinated tea, you can choose among several brands of decaffeinated chai tea bags, such as Twinings, Bigelow, Celestial Seasons and Stash.
 Lavender-Spice Mulled Apple Cider
Submitted by Nancy Baggett
You'll love the combination of seasonings in this super- fragrant and full-bodied apple cider. It is worth purchasing some lavender buds and a vanilla bean, though you can sub vanilla extract for the piece of bean, if necessary. Use whole spices because they taste fresher and don’t leave residue in the cider, but if you must, ground spices will certainly suffice.
