Ingredients You'll Need:
1 cup filtered water
1 cup sugar (I use Wholesome organic cane sugar)
2 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers
1 tablespoon dried culinary grade French lavender
Let's Get Started:
Boil the Water: In a saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add Butterfly Pea Flowers: Once the water is boiling, add the dried butterfly pea flowers. Let them simmer in the water for about 5 minutes to infuse it with their beautiful blue hue.
In Comes the Lavender: After 5 minutes, stir in the dried culinary lavender. Lower the heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 5 minutes. The aroma will transport you to a serene lavender field.
Sweeten It Up: Time to sweeten the deal! Add the sugar to the saucepan and stir until it completely dissolves. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Strain and Cool: Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the syrup to remove the flower petals. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle with a lid. I love storing colorful syrups in decorative jars like these. Keep your syrup refrigerated and use within 7 days for ultimate freshness.
