Hi there. Tonight I decided to do some prep work by making a honey lavender syrup using a recipe of my own. I'm going to create a new drink sometime this weekend that will utilize this scrumptious creation. Pretty excited. Anyway, here's the recipe:
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of Honey
- 3 tablespoons of dried lavender
- 1/2 a vanilla bean (scored and scraped clean)
In a sauce pot, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Note, do not put vanilla bean seeds inside the mixture. I know it's kind of a waste, but I wiped the knife clean and threw the napkin out. If you happen to be cooking something or baking something that can utilize the seeds, by all means do. Vanilla beans do not come cheap. After the mixture has reached its boiling point reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and allow the syrup to cool. Once cooled thoroughly, use a sieve and a funnel to bottle.
There you go! A bottle of sweet aromatic honey lavender syrup. The syrup is to be stored in the refrigerator and will have a shelf life of 7 days.
Enjoy! Stay tuned as I'll be creating a cocktail sometime this weekend with this syrup. Hmm...
