Notes
- Be careful to not exceed 15 minutes for steeping the lavender. Otherwise, the lavender can become bitter. If you prefer a stronger lavender taste, you can always add more lavender blossoms.
- Adjust the ingredient amounts based on taste. Play with the ratio of sugar for the right amount of sweetness for your taste. If you want only a slight lavender flavor, cut down on the amount of lavender. Experiment to get the perfect syrup for you.
- While this homemade lavender simple syrup is perfect in a variety of beverages and baked goods, you can also drizzle it directly onto a stack of sourdough French toast or sourdough pancakes for a summer take on these classic sweet breakfasts.
