Try to relax, have this

Ingredients​

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds (make sure they are labeled as culinary)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, helps to preserve the color)

Instructions​

1. Prepare the Lavender:
   • Place the dried lavender buds in a small bowl or cup.
2. Make the Syrup:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
   • Once the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat.
3. Infuse the Syrup:
   • Add the lavender buds to the hot syrup. Stir to combine.
   • Let the mixture steep for about 20-30 minutes, depending on how strong you want the lavender flavor to be.
4. Strain the Syrup:
   • After steeping, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle to remove the lavender buds.
   • If using lemon juice, add it now to help preserve the color of the syrup.
5. Cool and Store:
   • Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
   • Seal the jar or bottle with a lid and store the lavender syrup in the refrigerator. It should keep for up to 2 weeks.

Usage​

• Lavender syrup is a delightful addition to cocktails, lemonade, iced tea, or even coffee.
• Drizzle it over pancakes, waffles, or yogurt for a fragrant twist.
• Use it to flavor frostings, cakes, or other baked goods.
