Sam and I spent the afternoon in Healdsburg on Saturday and I had the yummiest lavender lemonade, which inspired me to pluck some lavender sprigs from the yard and make my own lavender syrup. {Then I made a rosemary syrup and meyer lemon blossom syrup. All so good!} Here’s how to make:
Boil one cup of sugar into one cup of water.
When the sugar has dissolved, just add about 4 or 5 sprigs of fresh {not dried} lavender and let boil for ten more minutes.
Cool, and then strain into a container. Will keep in the frig for about 2 weeks.
To make other versions, just substitute fresh rosemary or blossoms from a lemon tree.
