Lavender Jelly With Chamomile image

What a beautiful gift! Having trouble sleeping give this a try. Add to a cup of tea, glass of ice tea, lemonade, sauces, salad dressing, glaze a chicken or salmon, top a fruit tart, or spread on a scone for a delicate sweet flavor. Sweeten a vodka martini with a touch of this and garnish with fresh lavender. Take note: 2 minutes - soft gel which would make this great for easy dissolving into ice teas lemonades.... 4 minutes - medium gel for spreading on anything you desire.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my jelly didn't set properly. It's still delicious, but it's more like a syrup.

I had some trouble finding culinary lavender, but I was able to find it at a local spice shop.

This jelly is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
