Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 egg, plus one egg yolk; 1/2 cup light olive oil; 1/2 cup canola oil; 5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed; 4 tablespoons fresh lavender buds; pinch fresh rosemary; 1 teaspoon lemon juice; 2 1/2 teaspoons honey; salt and pepper to taste; lavender extract (optional)

Servings: persons

1 egg, plus one egg yolk
1/2 cup light olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 tablespoons fresh lavender buds
pinch fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 1/2 teaspoons honey
salt and pepper to taste
lavender extract (optional)

1
Crush the lavender buds until they become deeply perfumed. If you only have dried lavender either use a couple tablespoons extra, or have lavender extract on hand.
2
Combine the lavender, rosemary, crushed garlic and oils in a pan and turn on low heat. Stir regularly for 10-20 minutes, lowering heat or removing pan from stovetop if oil begins to bubble.
3
Wait for the oil to cool to room temperature, and strain through a fine mesh sieve. Press herbs gently with a spoon to get as much of the flavored oil as possible.
4
Whisk the egg, egg yolk, honey and lemon juice in a stand mixer until well blended. Slowly add the oil with mixer on low. If you used dried lavender, test for flavor and add 1-2 teaspoons of lavender extract, if necessary. *The leftover strained herbs are great on French bread and potato wedges.
5
Refrigerate for 24 hours before use, for thickening. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve with cucumber & carrot sticks, sweet potato fritters or anything light and springy.
