  • About

This brandy-based cordial is excellent in cakes and added to warm sauces for puddings. Try making a champagne cocktail with the sugar-cube soaked in lavender ratafia instead of cognac – it makes a subtle and intriguing drink.

Ingredients

  • 12 lavender heads
  • one 75 cl bottle of brandy
  • 250 g

Method

Shake the lavender, strip off the flowers and put them in a preserving jar. Pour in the brandy, seal and leave for 2 to 3 months in a dark place. Strain the brandy into a bowl and stir in the sugar syrup. Bottle and label. Like any liqueur, this ratafia keeps almost indefinitely.
