Ingredients

Instructions
Step 1. In a 1-quart sauce pan, combine sugar, water and dried lavender flowers.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil and allow it to boil for 1 minute.

Allow the Lavender Simple Syrup to steep for 15 minutes.
Step 3. After 15 minutes, remove the lid. This is what the mixture should look like.
