Ingredients
- 1 cup raw honey
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the water and honey over medium heat. Stir gently until the honey is fully dissolved, creating a homogeneous mixture.
Step 2
Add the dried culinary lavender and lemon zest to the saucepan. Stir to ensure the lavender is evenly distributed in the liquid.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.
Step 4
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid. Let the lavender steep in the liquid for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Once steeped, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar or container, discarding the lavender flowers and lemon zest.
Step 6
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar tightly with a lid.
Step 7
Store the lavender syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir before using if separation occurs.
