    Why I Love This Recipe

    I love this Blueberry Lavender Simple Syrup recipe because it captures the essence of fresh blueberries and the soothing aroma of lavender in a delightful, versatile syrup. Its vibrant purple hue and blend of flavors make it a perfect addition to a variety of beverages, desserts, and cocktails.

    Ingredients Needed to Make Blueberry Lavender Syrup

    You only need 4 ingredients to make Blueberry Lavender syrup: blueberries, dried lavender buds (culinary grade), sugar, and water. For this recipe, you can use frozen or fresh blueberries.

    I intentionally made this syrup with less sugar than regular simple syrup since blueberries are already sweet. If you want a thicker syrup, use an equal amount of sugar and water.

    How to Make Homemade Blueberry Syrup

    Place the water, sugar, and blueberries into a small saucepan over med-high heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the lavender buds and bring to a boil.

    Mash up the berries while stirring constantly. Boil for 4-5 minutes and then remove from the heat. Allow the mixture to steep in the pan until it is completely cool, about 1 hour.

    Strain the solids from the liquid using a fine-mesh strainer. Discard the solids or save them for another use (add to waffles, pancakes, muffins, etc).

    How to Store Simple Syrup

    Allow the syrup to cool completely. Pour it into a sealable container and store it in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.

    What is Culinary Grade Lavender?

    Culinary lavender is a specific species of lavender that is sweeter, becomes less bitter when cooked, and has more aroma than other lavenders. When culinary lavender is processed it is sifted multiple times so that all that remains is the lavender buds.

    Most of the dried lavender for cooking you find in-store and online are culinary, but double-check the description or ask if you are not sure. I’ve found dried culinary lavender at my local grocery store in the bulk section and on Amazon.

    What to Use This Syrup For

    • Make a delicious cocktail like my Blueberry Lavender Gin Sour.
    • Pour it on pancakes or waffels.
    • Add it to your morning coffee or tea.
    • Pour it over ice cream.
    • Add it to lemonade or iced tea for a refreshing drink.

    Tools Needed to Make Homemade Syrup

    You will need a fine-mesh strainer to remove the solids from the liquid when making this syrup. This set of 3 is perfect for any kitchen and you will find that you use them all the time! If you don't have a fine-mesh strainer, you can also use cheesecloth.

    Swing-top bottles are another kitchen staple that will make you will wonder why you never had them before. This is a set of 6 and also comes with a funnel, extra gaskets, and chalkboard labels!

    And here is one of my favorite small stainless steel saucepans. It's affordable and once again another kitchen item you will find yourself using all the time.

      Hello! Can this syrup be processed in a water bath in normal canning jars?
