Ingredients:

2 cups water

2 cups sugar (you can also reduce sugar by half & add honey)

2 heaping tablespoons of culinary lavender

Handful of fresh or frozen blueberries (for color)

To Make:

Mix together water & sugar & add to a small saucepan on medium high heat

Add lavender & blueberries

Note: There are a few different things you can add besides blueberries to get your desired color. If you don’t have blueberries, blackberries work too & of course food coloring always works. Another trick is to add a purple popsicle (fun pops work great!)

Bring syrup to a boil, making sure to whisk the sugar with the water until it dissolves

Lower heat and let simmer for 10 minutes

Remove from heat & allow to cool (15-20 minutes)

Once your syrup has cooled, use a strainer to remove the lavender. I recommend doing this a couple of times and adding a coffee filter to the strainer to ensure all the lavender is removed

Use a funnel to transfer your syrup to a container you can use to store the syrup in the fridge (mason jar, oil or vinegar bottle or anything that seals well)

Store up to two weeks in the fridge.

Enjoy 🍸
