Lavender Classic Simple Syrup Kit: Pure Lavender Syrup, Made at Home
Save
If you have ever paid extra for a lavender latte and thought, I could do this at home, you were right. The Lavender Classic Simple Syrup Kit is a kraft bag of our lavender sugar blend that turns into pure, gently floral lavender syrup in your own kitchen. Add water, simmer, steep, strain, and you are the café now.
Why Classic
Classic is lavender on its own, with no fruit layered in. That makes it the most versatile syrup in the family: it suits coffee, black and green tea, lemonade, sparkling water and cocktails without fighting other flavors. If you love a fruitier syrup, the Blueberry kit is on the combined listing below.
Step by step
- Combine the kit contents with 1 1/2 cups of water in a small saucepan.
- Simmer gently, stirring, 3 to 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat, cover and steep 20 minutes. This is where the lavender flavor develops.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle or jar.
- Let it cool, then cap it and refrigerate.

Frequently asked questions
Can I steep it longer for more flavor?
The 20-minute steep is the sweet spot. Much longer can push lavender toward bitter or perfumy.
Is it a good gift?
Very. It is a fun, hands-on gift for coffee lovers and home bartenders. Add a bag of coffee in the Gift Box Builder.
