How to make lavender sugar

Lavender has a delicate aroma and flavour and makes a wonderful base for sugar

Last year I dusted my mince pies with vanilla sugar, which I had made myself. Earlier this year I read an article saying that lavender sugar was also good, but I can’t find any information on the correct quantities. I assume you can use dried lavender? Could you give me a recipe for lavender sugar please?
