Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons culinary lavender buds
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add 2 tablespoons of culinary lavender buds to the saucepan.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will infuse the syrup with lavender flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to steep for an additional 10-15 minutes to intensify the lavender flavor.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the syrup into a clean jar or bottle to remove the lavender buds.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before sealing the jar or bottle with a lid.
Store the lavender simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use as desired in beverages, desserts, or recipes calling for a floral flavor.
