Calories: 64kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup water (8 fl oz)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 1/4 cup culinary lavender
- Optional: violet gel food coloring or liquid food coloring
Instructions
- Add water and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and remove from heat.

- Optional: For more intense purple color, whisk in a small amount of violet food coloring.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. A container with minimal surface area for the syrup to reach air, like a tall bottle, will keep it fresh the longest.
Straining: For best results, strain your syrup through a cheesecloth to avoid any floating debris in the final product.
