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 simmer, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Continue 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 another 5-15 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a glass container, discarding the buds.

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.
if desired, substitute honey for the sugar.
