INSTRUCTIONS

1) Heat the milk to a boil and add the lavender. Allow to infuse off the
stove for 30 minutes. Strain out the lavender.
2) Heat the butter until it foams and then whisk in the flour. Cook over a
medium flame stirring constantly until the roux is golden grown and gives a
smell of toasted nuts. Cool and reserve.
3) Bring the infused milk back to a boil and whisk in the cooled roux.
Continue to whisk until the milk boils and thickens. Stir in the grated
cheese. When the cheese is melted and smooth, add the savory and the
Tabasco (yes, a whole tablespoon). Taste and adjust the seasoning with
salt, pepper and lemon.
4) Serve hot with bread, apples and pears.
