Sweet violets for February! Violets are edible and were a popular flavor in the late 1800s. Today they've gone out of fashion, and instead flavors like vanilla fill up our flavor palate. Violet pastilles were first made by the Monks of Benedictine, in France. Today a 9th century recipe is still used to create these pastilles.
