Lavender syrup in a bottle next to lavender buds.

Lavender Syrup

Lavender syrup is perfect for drizzling on cakes and in drinks. It leaves a lovely floral flavor and scent that elevates desserts and cocktails. The longer you steep the lavender buds in the syrup, the stronger the lavender flavor. Don't leave it steeping for too long or the lavender will over-power your recipes.
