Anyone know how to extract lavender oil?
We have lavender in the garden and I would like to (a) dry it and also (b) extract the oil to use as flavouring for ice-cream and desserts. Any ideas?
Well, it’s a VERY long and labourious process, that’s why it’s so expensive, but it’s boiled and then the oil is skimmed off the surface, then it’s left to ‘rise to the surface’ again and skimmed to make it more pure – this process is done up to ten times with commercial lavender.
To use it in cakes/biscuits/ice-cream, just use a few flower heads – you’ll get a taste without it beng too perfumey.
to dry just hang it in bunches somewhere dry and airy, the heads will fall when it’s ready, then keep somewhere or in something non-plastic else freshly dried will go mouldy. To ‘fix’ the scent in dried lavender, use a little orris root powder – about a teaspoonful to half a pound of lavender
