Lavender and Mint

The stretch of warm weather we've been having is working out perfectly for me and my drying plans :-)
I'm harvesting our Lavender and Mint and drying it outside in our shed. The 80 degree temps (well above 80 where I'm hanging them) we've been having are drying everything out quite nicely. The photo below shows the fresh cut Lavender in the basket and the dried Lavender and Mint hanging behind.


The dried result!


Hmmm.....I'm dreaming of Lavender syrup for our Sourdough pancakes, Lavender & Mint jelly, Mint tea with a few Lavender flowers thrown in for flavor and Lavender Shortbread cookies. 
Winter is going to be so yummy!
