Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoon dried culinary lavender

Instructions

  • Add the water, honey and lavender to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat (don't let it boil), stirring occasionally. Keep on heat until the honey dissolves, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Once dissolved, remove the pan from heat but keep the syrup in the saucepan for 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the lavender buds.
  • Let the syrup fully cool before sealing container. Keep stored in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • It can be hard to tell when the honey has dissolved. Here are two ways to check:
    • Feel how much resistance pushes against your spoon as your move it through the syrup. Before the honey dissolves, the syrup will be thick and the spoon won't move as easily through it. Once the honey dissolves, it should be able to stir easily without any resistance.
    • Lift a spoonful of syrup out of the pan for closer examination. Make sure the spoonful doens't have any of the lavender in it so that you have a clear view of the syrup. If the honey hasn't dissolved you'll be able to see the seperation of the honey and water in your spoonful.
  • Small flecks of lavender can still make it through a fine mesh strainer and into your syrup. It's perfectly fine to leave them (I did!), but if you want to completely remove them, try straining the syrup through some cheesecloth. Simply place the cheesecloth in the basin of your strainer and pour through it!
How to store: 
Store this syrup in a sealed airtight glass container in the refrigerator for the longest shelf life (about 2-3 weeks). It can last at room temperature for about a week, so don't sweat if you leave it out overnight on the counter. Make sure that the jar stays sealed when it's not in use!
