Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and fresh lavender blossoms. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously until the sugar completely dissolves. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, allowing the lavender to fully infuse the syrup. (1 minute)

05

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup steep for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. (30 minutes)

06

Step

Prepare a sterilized glass jar and position a fine-mesh strainer over the mouth of the jar. Carefully pour the syrup through the strainer to remove the lavender blossoms, ensuring a smooth and clear syrup. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Allow the syrup to cool completely before sealing the jar. Store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness and flavor. (30 minutes)

For a more intense lavender flavor, use 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lavender blossoms.
Ensure the lavender blossoms are culinary grade and free from pesticides.
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.

    To prevent crystallization, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the syrup while it's simmering.

  • Syble Christiansenbosco

    Be careful not to overcook the syrup, as it can become too thick. The 1-minute simmer is key!

  • Glenna Reynolds

    This syrup is amazing! I used it to make lavender lemonade, and it was a huge hit!

    The instructions were easy to follow, and the syrup turned out perfectly. I'm excited to try it in cocktails.

  • Jarvis Runte

    My lavender syrup crystallized after a week. Any ideas on why?

  • Bradley Frami

    Fresh lavender is definitely the way to go! The aroma is incredible.

  • Lilly Kuphal

    I added a bit of lemon zest to the syrup while it was steeping, and it gave it a lovely citrusy aroma.

  • Sadye Schmitt

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