I planted a bunch of English lavender in my flower garden last year. It did well last year, but did even better this year. Apparently it doesn't mind being somewhat dry.
I picked a bunch of the flowers a month or so ago, and hung them to dry in J's room. She is an absolute fanatic about lavender!
Yesterday, we stripped the buds off the stems, and made Lavender Syrup - brought 2 cups of water, 2 cups of sugar, 2 T of lavender and 2 blueberries (for color) to a boil, and then simmered for 10 min. After it cooled, I strained it into a bottle, which we are keeping in the refrigerator.
So far, J has used it in a chai latte, and in a matcha latte, and is thrilled.
Such an easy thing to do to make her happy!😊
She has already cut some more to hang in her room because she loved how it smelled.
