Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make sure all the ingredients comply with Whole30 guidelines. For lemon juice and vanilla extract, opt for options without additives or sugars.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender buds.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure that the lavender releases its flavor.
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 5 minutes to intensify the lavender flavor.
Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the lavender buds from the liquid, pouring the liquid into a clean bowl or measuring cup.
Once strained, stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Let the lavender syrup cool completely before transferring it into a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle.
The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
