Lavender Syrup and Drink Components
Method
Preparation of Lavender Syrup and Drink Assembly
- 1
Make the Lavender Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender, water, and granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it steep for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds.
