Description
This sweet lavender syrup, also called lavender simple syrup, is perfect for adding a floral touch to any drink. Create lavender flavored lattes, cocktails, teas, sodas or lemonades just by mixing a spoonful into your drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup fresh lavender
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Heat the syrup. Heat the lavender, sugar and water on a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a very gently simmer. If the syrup starts to vigorously simmer or boil, reduce the heat.
- Simmer the syrup. Maintain a very gentle simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sugar should be fully dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pass the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender pieces. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using it in your drink.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Crystallization: The syrup may thicken up too much or crystallize after being stored in the fridge. If this happens add a couple drops of water at a time and heat on low heat over the stovetop if necessary.
