Lavender simple syrup recipe

granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

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

Cut fresh lavender from the garden and rub it into the sugar to release more oils.

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir until sugar is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add dried lavender buds.

Let steep for 15-20 minutes to infuse flavor.

Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove lavender buds.

Cool syrup to room temperature before transferring to a bottle.

Store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
