How to Make Lavender Syrup

Lavender Simple Syrup

3 SIMPLE INGREDIENTS

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons dried or fresh lavender flowers

EASY DIRECTIONS
 1.  In a deep pot bring the water, sugar and lavender to a simmer.
 2.  Simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off heat and let cool.
 3.  Strain to use.

NOTE!
For a stronger flavor refrigerate after cooling, at least over night. The longer the lavender sits in the sugar syrup, the more flavorful it will be.

Keeps in refrigerator for about 4 weeks.
