Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries or frozen*
- 2 Tablespoons dried lavender flowers
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- fresh lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Clean the blueberries (if using fresh) in a bath of salt water or vinegar. Rinse well.
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lavender, sugar, and water. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring occasionally. Once softened, gently smash the softened berries with the back of a spoon or masher. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the berries are disintegrated and the syrup is bright purple.
- Remove from heat and let rest to steep the lavender for 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor to come through. Be sure to taste test (the best!).
- Strain out the berries and flowers through a fine-mesh sieve. Use a spoon to stir the mixture to release the syrup as needed, being careful to not let any of the fruit bits into the syrup, and discard them.
- Optional: stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to bring out the berry flavor if it's tasting flat; it's not about adding lemon flavor but rather enhancing the blueberry notes.
- Let cool as needed and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes
- Serving Size: this recipe makes around 1 1/2 cups of syrup.
- Frozen Berries: No need to thaw before using, you just may need to simmer a few extra minutes. They tend to be less sweet so be sure to taste test and add more sugar if you need to.
