Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Lavender Buds dried or fresh
  • 4-5 buds Butterfly Pea Flower (optional)
  • 2 drops Lemon Juice (optional)

Instructions
 

  • To a medium sized saucepan add your sugar, water and butterfly pea flower.
  • Turn on the stove to medium heat and let the mixture simmer till the sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup starts turning blue.
  • Now add the lavender buds and let everything cook for 5 more minutes. Give it a quick stir from now and then.
  • Then turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.
  • Let the syrup steep till cooled completely. Give it a little taste to check if enough lavender flavor has been infused into the syrup.
  • Next strain the syrup using a fine meshed sieve.
  • Now it is time for some magic! Add a few droplets of the lemon juice to the syrup and give it a stir. 2-3 drops are enough here, less is more! The color will start turning once you stirred the syrup and the acidity has been properly mixed in.
  • Pour the syrup into a clean bottle or jar with a tight lid and store in the fridge

Notes

Store in a bottle or jar with a tight lid. Sterilize the container before pouring in the syrup to increase the syrups storage life. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
