The only loose leaf earl grey that they had at the store was with lavender. So i ended up making a lavender buttercream to avoid too much earl grey in the cake. It was a big hit at work!
That sounds amazing. I've never actually had a dessert (or Earl Grey) with lavender in it, but I'm pretty sure I'd love it.
It's super easy. Your grocery store probably has dried lavender ready to go. You just simmer it at 1 tablespoon lavender to 1/4 cup of milk. Strain out the lavender and then use the milk as you otherwise would.
