It’s always enjoyable to add a little unexpected touch to a meal or dessert and infusing salt is the perfect way to do it! We love to sprinkle infused salt over blondies, cookies, and even dinner like steak and potatoes!

Salt with fresh lavender

Just like infused sugar, there’s a myriad of ways you can use flavored salt too. Adding herbs, berries, spices or zests to salt creates subtle flavors, beautiful colors and a variety of textures. This salt is also known as finishing salt.

Much like infused sugars, infusing salt is just sea salt that has been mixed with flavor! Furthermore, tt’s incredibly easy to do and the salt will take on subtle flavors of herbs, zests, and berries. These finishing salts can be used on several recipes or even given as gifts.

What can you do with infused salts?

They can be used for savory recipes, desserts, margarita rims, to garnish dishes or to place out during a dinner party.

We’re sharing a few recipes but the options are endless!

Flavor Ideas

  • Wine Infused salt
  • Citrus – Lime, orange, and lemon
  • Tea – Earl Grey, hibiscus, butterfly pea flower.
  • Floral – Lavender and rose
  • Herb Infused – Basil, rosemary, oregano, etc.
  • Berry – raspberry, blueberry, blackberry
Lavender, lime zest and early gray tea

Quick tip – When using berries, you can use fresh or dried berries.

Use a fine course sea salt since these are finishing salts, you can add just a touch over your desserts.

Lime zest infused salt

We especially love the red wine salt, as it has a beautiful shade of pink and the Earl Grey salt because of the texture and perfect flavor it adds to the salt.

We’ve also made raspberry salt and pomegranate salt for cookies and they turned out great too!
