For thousands of years, lavender has been used for its calming properties. It's believed to reduce stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Lavender's health benefits counteract the negative effects of coffee. So you get the alertness and focus of the caffeine without all the exhausting jittery anxiousness.

I also read somewhere that rosemary pairs really well with lavender and is (oddly) very good with coffee. What I love about this simple syrup is that the woodsy taste normally from rosemary balances out the floral taste from the lavender, so you don't feel like you are drinking a bath bomb or a candle.

RECOMMENDED COFFEE

Pour the freshly brewed espresso into your mug. Add the honey into the syrup, for a hint of sweetness. Grab a spoon and stir it well, until the honey and espresso are combined. Pour the lavender syrup into the milk, for a bright burst of colour and aroma.

On body. When topically applied through massage, lavender oil is found to rapidly be absorbed by the skin, resulting in a sedative and relaxing effect. You can either pat on oil from the bottle or use a rollerball. Apply to wrists, behind ears, and nape of neck throughout the day or as desired.

Lavender affects human EEG pattern accompanied with its anxiolytic effect. It is reported that inhalation of lavender (diluted to 10% concentration) for 3 minutes increases alpha power of EEG as decreases anxiety and brings the subject to a better mood in 40 healthy adults [67].

Lavender works as an anxiolytic (an anxiety reliever) and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep. Lavender interacts with the neurotransmitter GABA to help quiet the brain and nervous system activity, reducing agitation, anger, aggression, and restlessness.

However, because lavender promotes relaxation, it may make the effects of central nervous (CNS) depressants stronger. These drugs include narcotics such as morphine or oxycodone (OxyContin) for pain, and sedative and anti-anxiety agents such as lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), and alprazolam (Xanax).

Pleasing way to add sweet and spice to my morning coffee

I put a 1/4 tsp in with hot milk and add it to my regular coffee and it gives it a balanced sweet spicy taste. Too much was too gritty for my taste. I think I might try this in baking too.

Something like a rich oatmilk, barista quality or coconut milk works best. Almond milk, rice milk and hemp milk can be on the thin/watery side which make them difficult to steam and froth. The richer your milk, the better their steaming ability and the better the drink.

Easy peasy! Mix one flat tsp of Blume powder with a splash of hot water. Top with one cup of steamed or frothed mylk, and sweeten to taste. For an iced latte, top with ice and cold mylk.
