Lavender Simple Syrup

This lavender simple syrup is not only easy to prepare but also versatile. You can use it to enhance cocktails, drizzled over cakes, or in a refreshing lemonade. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar has completely dissolved.
2. Add the dried lavender buds to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
3. Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the more intense the lavender flavor will be.
4. After steeping, remove the saucepan from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth into a clean jar to remove the lavender buds. Be careful, as the syrup will be hot.
5. Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, you can store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It should last for about a month.

Now that your lavender simple syrup is ready, you can use it as a sweetener in cocktails like a Lavender Lemonade or a delightful Lavender Martini. It can also be drizzled over desserts or used in baking for a unique taste. Enjoy experimenting with this beautiful syrup, and elevate your drink game with its enchanting flavor!
