I ended up with about a cup of buds. I make a delicious lavender tea with them.
Lavender Tea
I put 1 teaspoon of dried lavender buds into my tea ball and place it into my 2-cup teapot. I pour hot water over it and allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes.
It is delicious as is, but if you prefer you can add sugar or honey to sweeten it a bit. It tastes just the way lavender smells and is a very calming drink.
