Print Recipe
Equipment
- measuring cup
Ingredients
- ¼ cup dried lavender buds
- 2 cups water
- 2 cup sugar
- purple food coloring (or red & blue) optional
Instructions
- Place the water, sugar, and lavender buds into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes and then remove from heat. Allow the mixture to steep in the pan for 30-60 minutes. Remove the lavender buds after 30-60 minutes depending on the intensity of flavor you want.
- After the syrup has cooled, strain the lavender buds from the liquid and discard the buds. I use my small mesh strainer over a funnel so I don't spill any delicious syrup!
- You can now add food coloring if you would like to. I suggest coloring the syrup if you are using it for decoration or giving it away as a gift. Otherwise, your syrup will be a light golden color. Store the lavender syrup in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
