Print Recipe
Equipment
- 1 strainer
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup dried lavender flowers
Instructions
- Add honey, water, and dried lavender to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until honey is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil then turn off heat. Allow to steep from at least 20 minutes (the longer the better) for the lavender flavor to infuse into the syrup.
- Strain out lavender flowers and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Preparation
Letting the lavender continue to steep in the honey as the mixture cools deepens the flavor.
Press and squeeze the strained flowers to express as much flavored syrup as possible!
Storage
While honey doesn't expire, the water in honey syrup can allow mold to grow when exposed to air. So with repeated opening and use, lavender honey syrup does have an expiration date.
To store, refrigerate sealed in an airtight container for one month or more.
To freeze, store in a freezer-safe container for up to six months. Because of the water, flavored honey syrup can freeze solid.
