Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar granulated, cane, turbinado, or brown
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp lavender flowers, dried or 3 tablespoons fresh
Instructions
- Add your sugar and water to a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved in the water. Let it come to a light simmer, but not a rolling boil.
- Once all sugar is dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat. Add in your lavender leaves and let the lavender steep into the syrup for 1 hour.
- Strain and transfer your lavender simple syrup to a sealed container in the refrigerator until it's ready to use.
Notes
Use a nut milk bag to make sure you get all the lavender out. It lasts longer without the lavender in it.
Steep the lavender in the simple syrup off the heat so it doesn't burn the flowers.
Transfer your lavender simple syrup to a sealed container and keep in the refrigerator until ready for use. Keeps for up to 1 month.
