Lavender Simple Syrup

March 1, 2020 by Kayley 7 Comments

Lavender Simple Syrup

I’m dreaming of spring.

Of a time when trees are bursting into fragrant bloom, flowerings of apple, and peach, cherry and pear.

Unfortunately, all I can do is dream, at the moment.

Spring will come, as it always does. I’ll steal blossoms from neighbors yards, church parking lots, it will all be great, questionably legal fun.

Lavender Simple Syrup

For now I’m pacifying my needs with the preservation of summers past – lavender buds.

What a beautiful thing they are. Soothingly scented, and what a unique fragrance it is.

I fell in love with lavender lattes recently.

Coffee, steamed milk, and lavender simple syrup may be the most perfect combination I’ve stumbled on thus far. 

Lavender Simple Syrup

I love having my coffee made by someone else(I love to make it too!), but decided that lavender lattes needed to be something I could enjoy at home.

Luckily, it’s simple to make a lavender simple syrup. Sugar, water, and a handful of dried lavender buds are all you need.

You could use fresh lavender, if you had it around, too. It may be a bit more potent than dried, so I would recommend scaling down the amount used.

 

Lavender Simple Syrup

I add a bit of vanilla to add a touch of softness to the syrup, but you don’t need to add it.

I also like to add a few blueberries to the syrup to give it a purple color. Not necessary whatsoever, but I like the color to reflect the ingredients. Fresh or frozen berries are fine, and blackberries will work, as well.

Use this syrup to sweeten lattes, top pancakes or waffles, as a topping for panna cotta, whatever you can dream up.
