Vanilla Lavender Syrup

Ingredients

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  1 cup or 237g

• Sugar

  White, granulated sugar

  1 cup or 200g

• lavender buds

  60g

• Vanilla extract

  1 tbsp or 13g

Directions

1. In a pot, combine your sugar, water, and dried lavender buds. Let the mixture simmer and bubble over medium heat for around 5 minutes (if you heat it for longer it will be thicker, if you heat it less it'll be thinner). You don't really want this to boil so be sure to mix it consistently. Turn off the heat and allow for everything to steep for an additional 20 - 30 minutes.
2. Once cooled, you can add in your splash of vanilla (this is optional too if you just want regular lavender syrup). You can also add in a few drops of purple or red+blue food coloring to make everything more a e s t h e t i c.
3. Strain your syrup and enjoy! I really love putting this in my iced lattes but I can imagine how great this would be in lemonade. This should last you around ~2 weeks in the fridge.
