Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender flowers
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 drops Purple food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender flowers and the water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
Let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes to allow the lavender to infuse the water.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down for a couple of minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the lavender-infused water into a clean mixing bowl or another saucepan to remove the flowers.
Return the strained liquid to the saucepan and add the erythritol.
Place the saucepan back on the stove over low heat and stir continuously until the erythritol is completely dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat once the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the syrup.
If using, add 1-2 drops of purple food coloring for a more vivid lavender hue, and stir until well mixed.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a sterilized airtight jar or bottle for storage.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and enjoy it in your favorite low carb recipes or beverages.
