Description
Homemade lavender syrup is easy to make with 3 ingredients and can be used in everything from lattes to cocktails, lemonade, baked goods and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup dried lavender buds (culinary grade)
Instructions
- Simmer. Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a simmer. Continue stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Steep. Remove pan from the heat. Stir in the lavender and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes.

Notes
Straining the lavender: If you find that there are still some grainy bits in the syrup, you may need to place a cheesecloth or paper towel in the strainer to help strain out the tiniest bits.
