Elevate Every Sip & Bite with Pure Lavender
Meet your new secret ingredient. Our Royal Velvet Culinary Lavender Buds are prized among culinary lavender varieties for their exceptionally sweet, mild flavor — less bitter than common lavender, with a floral depth that transforms ordinary recipes into something truly memorable.
Whether you're crafting a lavender simple syrup for your morning lemonade, stirring something special into a cocktail, or baking a batch of shortbread that stops everyone in their tracks, these buds deliver a beautiful, authentic lavender flavor that bottled extracts simply can't match.
Endless Ways to Use It
🍋 Lavender Simple Syrup — stir into lemonade, iced tea, sparkling water, or cocktails for a sweet floral twist
☕ Coffee & Lattes — add to your cold brew or latte for a café-worthy lavender drink at home
🍸 Cocktails & Mocktails — muddle into gin, vodka, or sparkling drinks for an elegant floral note
🍰 Baking — fold into shortbread, scones, pound cake, or macarons for a sophisticated floral flavor
🍯 Honey & Butter — infuse into honey or compound butter for a stunning finishing touch
🧂 Savory Dishes — use sparingly in rubs for lamb, chicken, or roasted vegetables
🍨 Ice Cream & Desserts — steep into cream for lavender ice cream, panna cotta, or crème brûlée
Why Royal Velvet?
Not all culinary lavender is created equal. Royal Velvet is one of the most sought-after varieties for cooking because of its naturally sweeter, less camphor-forward profile — meaning you get pure floral flavor without the soapy bitterness that can ruin a dish. It's the chef's choice, and now it's yours.
A little goes a long way — start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Lavender is bold and beautiful!

🍋 Lavender Simple Syrup
The most versatile thing you'll ever make. Use it in everything.
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Lebanon Lavender Royal Velvet culinary lavender buds
Instructions: Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add lavender buds and bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and steep for 15–20 minutes (longer for stronger flavor). Strain out buds and let cool. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir into lemonade, iced tea, cocktails, coffee, or sparkling water.
🍋 Lavender Lemonade
Refreshing, floral, and absolutely stunning in a glass.
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6–8 lemons)
4 cups cold water
½ cup Lavender Simple Syrup (recipe above)
Ice and lemon slices to serve
Instructions: Combine lemon juice, cold water, and lavender simple syrup in a large pitcher. Stir well and taste — add more syrup for a sweeter, more floral flavor. Serve over ice with a lemon slice and a few dried lavender buds as garnish. For a sparkling version, swap still water for sparkling water. Makes 4–6 servings.
