Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Dried culinary lavender flowers*

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water until fully dissolved.
  2. Stir gently and bring to a soft boil. As soon as it bubbles, remove from heat.
  3. Immediately add the dried lavender flowers into the hot syrup. Cover and let it steep for 10-20 minutes (start tasting at 10 minutes and remove by 20 to avoid bitterness).
  4. Strain through a fine sieve and cool.
  5. Store in a sterilized glass jar or bottle with airtight lids in the fridge for 2–3 weeks.

Notes

*Make sure your lavender is food-grade and pesticide-free. If using fresh flowers, use 1 tbsp and choose vibrant buds that haven’t yet opened for best aroma and color.
