Here's the recipe for the herb butter described in Wanda Adams' video. You can add different herbs or used dried thyme (if using dried, reduce to a teaspoon, finely ground). To grind lavender, use a coffee grinder, mortar and pestle or suribachi.
LAVENDER-THYME BUTTER
Place butter in medium bowl, add herbs, garlic, salt and pepper, and with a spatula, work ingredients into the butter.
Spread a square of plastic wrap on a flat surface and mound butter in the middle in a rough rectangle. Fold over plastic wrap and shape with hands to form a log. Refrigerate log until firm.
Use pats of butter to flavor grilled, pan-roasted, roasted or broiled meats or fish. After you turn the meat or fish, put a thin pat on top and let it melt while the cooking finishes, then put another thin pat on top just before serving.
