Homemade Lavender Simple Syrup

Homemade Lavender Simple Syrup

We fell in love with this homemade lavender simple syrup when we were testing cocktails for our wedding years ago. Since, I’ve found dozens of uses for this floral sweetener – you can get that coffee-shop feel with a lavender latte, end the day with a lavender whiskey sour (one of our wedding signature cocktails), or liven up a bundt cake by using this syrup as a glaze.

It’s so, so easy, too. 2 minutes of monitored cook time, let it steep for 15, and then strain into a bottle.

The recipe below can be multiplied based on how much syrup you need. As written, it yields just over 1 cup of syrup. For our lavender whiskey sours for a crowd, we’ll often use 3 cups water, 3 cups sugar, and 3/4 cups lavender to make a big bottle of homemade lavender simple syrup.
