Instructions

To make the lavender syrup ~
In a small saucepan heat the water, sugar, and lavender until it comes to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Depending on the color of your lavender, you may or may not get a pale lavender shade to your syrup. If you want to bump up the color, add a TINY bit of gel paste food coloring. (use a toothpick)
Let cool and then strain through cheesecloth into a jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid.
Refrigerate until ready to use. It will keep for a month in the fridge.
