Equipment
- Saucepan
- Kitchen scale and/or measuring cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar (white sugar for the cleanest lavender flavor)
- ¼ cup dried lavender buds (or fresh lavender buds)
Instructions
- Add the water and sugar to a saucepan and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the lavender.
- Stir the mixture until all of the lavender is wet with the liquid syrup, and then cover the saucepan and allow it to cool to room temperature (around 30 minutes).
- Place the funnel onto the top your storage container and hold the fine mesh strainer above the funnel. Carefully pour the syrup through the strainer and funnel so the liquid goes into your container.
- Seal the container, and store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Discard at any sign of cloudiness or mold growth.
Notes
- To make a Keto-friendly version of this syrup, use around 240 g of allulose in place of the sugar.
- To increase the shelf life of this syrup in the refrigerator, you can either double the amount of sugar used to make a "rich" lavender syrup, or add ½ ounce of vodka to the mixture. Either way, be sure to make a note on the glass container (especially for the vodka!)
