Lavender Passion

I was pretty hungry and went looking for food in the kitchen. Found 2 fancy containers and thought it contains some herbal tea because the label read “Lavender Passion” and “Blossom – Flower Fragrance from Natural Dried Flower”. I said to myself, this must be some health drink that my dad bought back for himself. So, I didn’t bother to read the ingredients label on the back assuming it is not what I’m looking for.

After my mum opened one of the containers and asked whether I want some biscuits that my dad just bought back. I felt so silly. Honestly, I have NEVER heard of such biscuits baked with lavender. Man, the biscuits taste SO GOOD, I seriously haven’t tasted any biscuits as good as this. I’m addicted to it. Don’t mind me. Haha... Too bad, we only have 2 of these.

Here’s a short poem and description on the label.

Blossom Diary
In the rolling gardens of lavender
The air so pure and sweet
One’s soul thus free to wander
A taste of passion... oh what a treat

Lavender belongs to the mint variety of romantic herbs and is commonly cultivated as ornamental flowers rather than a cooking ingredient. But by the 17th Century, lavender became a popular element in baked confectionery. More recently, herbalists and aroma therapists are recommending lavender to calm the senses and relieve mild cases of anxiety and depression.
