Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons lavender culinary grade, dried flowers
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lavender flowers. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let sit for 15-60 minutes to allow the lavender to fully infuse. I recommend taste testing at various points to ensure the lavender flavor doesn't get too strong, then move to the next step when it's to your liking. I find 20-30 minutes is best.
- Strain the syrup into a jar using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
