For a more intense lavender flavor, use 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lavender blossoms. Ensure the lavender blossoms are culinary grade and free from pesticides. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Experiment with different types of sugar, such as honey or agave, for unique flavor variations. Use this lavender simple syrup to sweeten lemonade, cocktails, tea, or to drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
