With spring here and Mother’s Day quickly approaching, I’ve been in the mood for all things floral and bright. From the floral kimonos to nature-inspired children’s books, I’m swooning. One of my favorite ways to infuse this season into our home is with an easy lavender syrup recipe. I love the calming properties of lavender essential oil and am becoming quite obsessed with the flavor. The other day, my obsession spurred me to the stove to make a quick lavender-infused simple syrup (which I, of course, have been using on everything I eat and drink). You’ll love how simple it is to elevate your brunch, dessert, or beverage with this easy lavender syrup recipe

It’s so easy, it probably doesn’t need to be written down. I used the basic simple syrup recipe as my starting point, and then added a handful of dried lavender flowers.

Easy Lavender Syrup Recipe:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup dried organic lavender

Bring the water and sugar to a simmer over the stove (preferably in a nonreactive saucepan). Once the sugar dissolves, remove from heat and add lavender (either directly into the syrup, or in a large tea bag). Let it steep until the syrup has cooled.



Strain out the lavender and pour the syrup into a mason jar. Keep refrigerated and use within two weeks.

How easy is that?!
