Tiny jewel-like drops that catch the light like sea glass. Each piece balances the sharp brightness of Meyer lemon with the quiet calm of Provençal lavender — a pairing that sounds unlikely on paper but dissolves into something utterly natural on the tongue.
Small-batch, hand-cut
We cook our hard candy in small pots — no more than two kilograms at a time — so we can pull it from the heat at exactly the right moment. The sugar reaches hard-crack stage and receives a dose of fresh Meyer lemon juice and a lavender infusion we steep that morning. The mixture is poured onto a silicone mat, scored while still warm, and snapped into irregular pieces once cooled. The shapes are never uniform, and we think that’s part of the pleasure.
Place one on your tongue and close your eyes. For a moment you’re standing in a field somewhere in the south of France, lemon trees behind you, lavender rows ahead.
Best enjoyed
- As an afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of Earl Grey
- Dropped into a glass of sparkling water for a subtly flavored spritz
- Tucked into a pocket for a long walk — they dissolve slowly and keep the journey sweet
Lavender Lemon Drops ship in a clear cellophane pouch tied with twine and a dried lavender sprig. They keep for up to two months in a cool, dry place — though they tend to disappear from the pantry well before then.
