Lavender simple syrup is easy to make and full of fun flavor! It is just what your next glass of lemonade or latte is waiting for! Try it with honey or coconut sugar!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unrefined cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lavender blossoms (fresh or dried)
- Vanilla*
- 8 blueberries (optional)
Or
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lavender blossoms (fresh or dried)
- Vanilla*
- 8 blueberries (optional)
* I like to use a vanilla bean pod that is spent from making vanilla extract. It is a great way to use up something on hand without spending more money on fresh vanilla beans. You could also use 1/2 of a fresh vanilla bean. Or once the syrup is done simmering, you can add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
Add all the ingredients to a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to steep for 30 minutes.
Pour the syrup through a sieve into a jar to strain the lavender and blueberries. Allow to cool and store in the fridge.
The syrup will stay fresh for at least 2 weeks.
