Yes, I’ve entered my lilac era, and no! I’m no Yes, I’ve entered my lilac era, and no! I’m not coming out of it. And not to be dramatic, but this Lilac Infused Sugar is probably the most beautiful ingredient in my kitchen.PS, Check the last slide for a few ways to use it! It’s floral, fragrant, and adds a delicate 'something special' to literally everything. And yes! I’m clearly deep into my lilac obsession, but I think this might be the last post about them as lilac season wraps for this year. But, you just wait until next year, lol.The best part about this homemade infused sugar? It’s so simple to make, but it instantly elevates anything it touches. Think sugar cookies, lemonade, whipped cream, tea, or even a fancy cocktail rim. Swipe for the recipe OR comment “sugar” in the comments and I’ll DM you the full post with all the tips, tricks, and lilac magic you need!
