How to Make Lavender Simple Syrup

granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

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

Fill a saucepan with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water.

Snip off sprigs of dried lavender and add them to the sugar and water mixture.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Pour the mixture through a strainer into a bowl to remove the lavender bits.

Let the syrup cool completely before using.

Serve the syrup over ice with iced tea.
