What You Need

Recipe 1 cup filtered water 1 cup organic cane sugar (or raw sugar for deeper flavor) 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Step 1 Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes.

Step 2 Cover the pan and let steep for 20 minutes. This timing matters. Longer and the syrup turns medicinal. Shorter and you lose the floral depth.
