Lavender Syrup Recipe

The abundance of drink options available today makes going out for a coffee, cocktails, or tea a bit more exciting than it was years ago before we knew so many options existed.

Lavender syrup is a clever way to bring a floral flavor and calming properties to coffee, tea, lemonade, sparkling water, mocktails, or cocktails in addition to desserts, sauces, and dressings.

Lavender Syrup Recipe via Tasting Table

To make this recipe, we only need 3 ingredients: sugar, filtered water, and dried lavender. When looking for the lavender, it is important to buy food grade lavender and preferably one that is organic.

Ingredients

¾ cup white cane sugar

¾ cup filtered water

3 tablespoons food grade lavender leaves

Directions

1. Put the sugar, water, and lavender in a medium pot and bring the heat to medium.

2. Stir frequently for 5 minutes or until all the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat, cover and let it steep for 10 minutes.

3. Pour it into a mesh strainer that is positioned over a bowl. Discard the lavender. Pour the lavender syrup into an air-tight container and keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
