Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons lavender buds
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or sub coconut sugar)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a sauce pan, combine lavender buds and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the sugar.
- Lower the heat so it maintains a gentle boil, and continue to stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the lavender to steep as it cools. Taste the syrup after 15 minutes. If it has enough flavor, go ahead and strain out the lavender buds. If you want it stronger, continue to steep. I find 20-30 minutes is usually perfect for me.
Notes
- If using fresh lavender, choose buds that are bright purple, but not yet open.
- Syrup should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Use within 2-3 weeks.
