Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine the water, honey, and dried lavender. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Stir often to make sure the honey dissolves and continue to simmer for 1 minute. (Lower the heat if the mixture starts to bubble over.)
- Turn off the heat and let the lavender steep in the hot liquid for 30 to 60 minutes. Letting it steep for 30 minutes is sufficient if you're in a hurry, but letting it rest for a full hour will give you maximum lavender flavor.
- Arrange a fine mesh strainer over a storage jar or measuring cup, then pour the syrup through the strainer to strain out the lavender buds. The strained syrup is ready to use right away in your favorite drinks (see notes) and is also a delicious addition to oatmeal.
- Store this homemade syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before using each time.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly 2 tablespoons of syrup, assuming you get 1 1/4 cups total from this recipe. (This assumes you'll lose 1/4 cup of liquid due to evaporation and straining.) This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Sweetener Options: If you prefer to use maple syrup, use 3/4 cup maple syrup + 3/4 cup water instead. When using white, brown, or coconut sugar, use 1 cup granulated sugar to 1 cup water.
- Make a Lavender Lemonade: Combine 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 cup water. Stir well then serve with ice.
- Make a Lavender Latte: Add 2 tablespoons of lavender syrup to 2 shots of espresso and add 6 to 8 ounces of cold or steamed milk, depending on if you want a hot or iced latte. You can also simply pour this into home-brewed coffee with a splash of heavy cream for a similar flavor.
