Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons dried lavender (food-grade only)

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer.
    Stir to make sure sugar dissolves completely.
  • Take off heat and steep for 10 minutes.
  • Strain and pour syrup into an airtight container.
    Use a mesh strainer to separate the lavender flowers and buds from the syrup. The syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Recipe makes 1 cup (16 tablespoons) of lavender syrup.
  • Use 1-2 tablespoons of syrup for each cup.
  • The more purple the lavender, the more purple in the simple syrup. Some syrups may have more of a beige color than purple but that's perfectly normal.
  • Never use dried lavender from flower shops since they're loaded with pesticides.
  • Use regular white sugar to get a little bit of a purple color in your simple syrup. You can also use brown sugar but that'll change the color of the syrup to brown.
