I promised lots of Summer recipes and here is another one, even though this is so simple and self explanatory, I thought it may be helpful to have some idea of measurements.
 
You can collect fresh Lavender for this recipe or use dried if making this during the winter months, Waitrose do sell a beautiful Lavender Sugar but sometimes its just far more fun making your own. You could do this with the kids, you could decorate pretty jars and give as gifts or in little jars would make the perfect Summer Wedding favour.
 
If you are making Wedding favours you can make the sugar up to 2 months before the wedding and package in small bags or jars ready for the big day. Make sure that on the label you say that it must be used within 6 months, and suggest uses.
 
Head to John Lewis or your local craft store for ribbon, string and parcel labels. Lakeland sells cellophane bags, or get friends and family to help wash and save small jars. Ikea is also a great place to buy cheap jars of all shapes and sizes.
 
I hope you have fun with this and enjoy your Summer, heres hoping for a long hot & barmy Summer!
