The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Experiment with different types of sugar, such as honey or agave, for unique flavor variations. Use this lavender simple syrup to sweeten lemonade, cocktails, tea, or to drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Aug 28, 2024I didn't have fresh lavender, so I used dried. It still worked, but the flavor wasn't as vibrant.
