Gourmet Lavender Simple Syrup
This syrup is made with freshly harvested lavender grown in my herb garden, water and sugar, one small batch at a time. To get a true lavender flavor, it has been infused for 24 hours. It has a gentle lavender flavor with small particles of lavender remaining in the syrup. Please shake before use to disperse the particles and refrigerate after opening, as there are no additives or preservatives added.This is a simple syrup with the intention of it being used to add to your iced tea, lemonade, soda or your favorite cocktail. Please note, dependent on the time of the season, the color of the syrup varies.
