The roses are blooming. The lilacs have budded. The sun shines above the Puget Sound and the air is warm but crisp. The summer weather has finally arrived and I can feel the vibrant energy swirling into the air. 

Inspired by nature, I decided to make some sweet treats with lilac flowers this week. The simplest recipe being lilac sugar, which is a nice way to sweeten and flavor green tea.

Last year I posted on "How to Make Rose Sugar" and these recipes are simple. I use a 1:1 flower and sugar ratio, and then blend them together in a coffee grinder. It's that simple. The hardest part is waiting for the blossoms to dry. It is important to wash the petals and it can take a while for the blossoms to dry.

Lilacs are like perfume. Everything looks and smells so beautiful, it's hard not to stop and smell the flowers. Enjoy the beauty of these culinary treats and stay tuned for this week's post on Vegan Lilac Cream Cheese Scones.

My favorite color is purple and with that, lilac is my most favorite flower and lily of the nile is the second. I also love drinking tea and by the way, I used rose sugar as a sweetener and I followed your recipe, and it was amazing. But this time, I want to learn how to make this lilac sugar. It seems like it is easy to make so I am excited to try it out. I will definitely check out the other lilac recipes, especially the lilac syrup!
