Equipment
- Small saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons dried lavender
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, and dried lavender. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until all the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let the lavender steep in the syrup for 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.Using a fine mesh sieve, strain out the lavender buds and discard them.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- For a more mild lavender flavor, use less lavender or reduce the steeping time. Taste until you reach your desired flavor.
- Label the container with the date you made the syrup to keep track of when any leftovers should be discarded.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze in ice cube trays.
