I am really an amateur with herbs..so pardon the question...what form do you buy lavender in? Are they leaves? I'm in the middle of hick-ville Minnesota so it may take me some searching to find what I would need. But that sounds really tasty...I thought about honey also, but for some reason the taste of fennel just doesn't seem like it would 'go' with honey...but I guess I should try it. Thanks for the help
