Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 tsp edible lavender
  • 1/2 cup filtered water

Instructions
 

  • Bring the filtered water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and let it cool off for 2 minutes (Note 1).
    1/2 cup filtered water
  • Add lavender and honey and stir gently for 2 minutes until the honey is fully dissolved.
    3 tsp edible lavender, 1/2 cup honey
  • Add a lid and let it infuse for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a sterilized glass jar.
  • Store it in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes

Note 1: If the lavender flowers are boiled the syrup will be bitter. Let the filtered water cool down off the element for a few minutes before you add the honey and lavender flowers.
Storage: The syrup stores well for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Make sure the jar is sterilized before you add the syrup.

Ingredients and substitutions

  1. Honey: Mild and creamy honey such as clover honey creates a well-balanced syrup. I don’t recommend using punchier herbal honey such as Manuka honey.
  2. Lavender: Make sure you use edible, culinary lavender. You can buy it at specialist food r online retailers. Highly-fragrant English lavender, also known as Lavandula angustifolia, is best. Hidcote or Munstead are suitable varieties. (Please note that my photos show French lavender Dentata as props as this was the only lavender available in my garden when creating imagery for this recipe.)
  3. Water: Make sure to use filtered water to avoid any chlorine flavor in your simple syrup.
