We love the flavor of lavender and there are so many ways to incorporate it into your summertime meals.
Infuse your kabobs with lavender in three different ways with this simple recipe. Use our lavender-infused wildflower honey and our sea salt blend to add complexity to the marinade, place one of our stem bundles in your grill while cooking to release lavender scent into the smoke, and then finish with a dash more of our Himalayan sea salt with lavender buds for an extra burst of bright lavender flavor at the end.
These delicious kabobs are ready in just 14 minutes. Simply soak the lavender stem bundle and marinate the skewers for two hours before grilling to create an aromatic offering for your Summer cookouts.
