How to Make Lavender Simple Syrup | Zero Waste Recipe

granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds a floral note while brown sugar is often less expensive.

Debug the lavender to get all the lavender buds off and put them into a bowl.

Add 1 cup of water to a pan and wait for it to boil.

Once boiling, add 1 cup of coconut sugar to the pan and reduce the heat to medium.

Wait for the sugar to dissolve completely, ensuring it becomes a liquid.

Turn off the burner and add in 1/2 cup of lavender buds to the mixture.

Let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how strong you want it to be.

Pour the syrup into a jar through a colander to remove the lavender buds.

If necessary, squish down on the lavender to extract all the syrup.

Store the syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge.
