Lavender Honey Simple Syrup

Yield: 1 cup 

Ingredients

1 cup fresh raw local honey

1 cup water

1 tbsp dried culinary lavender

 Preparation 

1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepot over medium heat. Allow the honey to melt completely over a low simmer for approximately 3-5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat. Put a lid on the saucepot and set aside for 1 hour.
3. Using a fine strainer, strain the mixture into a mason jar. Seal with a tight-fitting lid.
4. Refrigerate for up to 10 days.

 Tip: My favorite way to enjoy this simple syrup is mixing it in with fresh lemonade or herbal tea to sweeten!
