Method
For the Honey Lavender Syrup
- 1
Prepare the Lavender Infusion
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of dried culinary lavender and 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it steep for about 15 minutes. This will extract the flavor and color from the lavender.

Strain the Mixture
After steeping, remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove the lavender buds. Discard the used lavender.

Make the Syrup
Return the strained lavender infusion to the saucepan. Add 1 cup of honey to the lavender water and stir over low heat until the honey is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool before using. You can store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
