Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw honey
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water and honey over medium heat. Stir gently until the honey is fully dissolved, creating a homogeneous mixture.
Add the dried culinary lavender and lemon zest to the saucepan. Stir to ensure the lavender is evenly distributed in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid. Let the lavender steep in the liquid for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Once steeped, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar or container, discarding the lavender flowers and lemon zest.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar tightly with a lid.
Store the lavender syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir before using if separation occurs.
