Lavender Syrup | Easy and Fun to Make Simple Syrup
Serious Mealtimes / Amanda Suarez
Simple syrup tells you all you need to know right there in the name: it’s simple. Just add equal parts sugar and water stir or heat to dissolve the sugar and boom you’re done. “Lavender syrup” may sound a little more complicated to some but I assure you it’s not. It’s the exact same process as making simple syrup just with a side of dried lavender flowers. It couldn’t be easier.
Since the goal of an infused syrup like this is to transfer the flavor of the lavender into the syrup before straining the flowers out we need to use heat: simply stirring without heat until the sugar is dissolved makes a perfect simple syrup but not one that has absorbed enough of the lavender flavor. It only takes about ten minutes of simmering to get that flavor transfer and then it’s time to strain and store the syrup until ready to use.
