Elevate your Culinary Creations with Lavender


Here at Sweet Streams Lavender, we have the beauty of being able to experiment with the addition of lavender in the kitchen, whipping up mouth-watering recipes where the flavor is enhanced with this simple yet pure ingredient. This light floral addition has stolen the spotlight in recent years when it comes to culinary creations, elevating dishes with its delicate aroma. The rumors are true – lavender is now being used for so much more than just sachets, oils, and bath bombs, and is instead adding a unique twist to traditional cooking and baking. As lavender experts here in the heart of Kansas City, we’re exploring how you can infuse your recipes (both sweet and savory) with the fragrant magic of lavender. From farm to fork, it’s time to take note…


The Magic Ingredient

Picture vibrant fields of purple, the gentle hum of bees as they dance from flower to flower, and the soothing scent of lavender as it lightly lingers in the air… you have Sweet Streams Lavender Farm. This is where your culinary journey with the magic ingredient begins! Our tight-knit, family-run team pours our hearts and soul into growing lavender with care, passion, and organic farming practices so that each sprig of lavender is filled with flavor and fragrance for you to enjoy as you cook.

Lavender-Led Cocktails

While lavender may seem the perfect addition to sweet treats, it also adds a sophisticated touch to cocktails too. Begin by making your own lavender syrup (or to make the process a whole lot easier, get your hands on our signature SSL Syrup) which you can then add to your favorite gin and tonic for a refreshing sip on a warm summer evening. We also adore the idea of a lavender-infused lemonade martini, where the zesty citrus taste works in harmony with the floral lavender notes for a cocktail that’s refined and ultra-refreshing too. 

Baking with Lavender

When it comes to baking, lavender can add a sprinkling of luxury to your favorite treats. From fluffy lavender cupcakes to lavender shortbread cookies, the options really are endless when it comes to baking. Lavender is a beautiful way to add the essence of the countryside into every crumb!

Lifestyle Recipes with Lavender

Beyond the delicious delights of cocktails and cookies, lavender can simply add a tastebud tantalizing touch to your everyday recipes! Sprinkle lavender-infused sea salt over roasted vegetables, drizzle lavender honey over a charcuterie board or marinade chicken skewers in a sweet lavender syrup. This humble yet impactful herb truly is a versatile ingredient that can be used in an array of recipes!
