I’m curious to learn why you specified French lavender for this herb mix. It’s my understanding that French lavender has been crossed with camphor, which gives it a distinctive scent but a medicinal taste. I wonder why you didn’t specify culinary or English lavender.
You can use either!
Nice simple instructions and easy to follow. Thanx. Always have loved this blend.
