Notes
Avoid adding too much lavender to the syrup. Too much will lead to a more bitter taste. 1 tbsp (+/- 1 tsp) is enough to add a delicate flavor without being bitter.
Syrup can be added alone to coffee or can be used to make a delicious lavender latte. You can even use this in place of regular simple syrup for a fun cocktail!
