Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar

Instructions
- Stir the sugar, water and lavender in a pot, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and strain out and discard the lavender. Take care, sugar syrup is hot!
