Lavender Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup

This syrup is delicious in an Earl Grey tea to make my version of a London Fog. Add however much you want to your tea, so the amount of servings is more of a suggestion.

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine lavender buds and water. Bring to a boil, then add the sugar

Step 2

Whisk water and sugar together over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until sugar is completely dissolved. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes

Step 3

Turn off the heat and allow the lavender to steep as it cools. Taste the syrup after 15 minutes. If it has enough flavor, strain out the lavender buds. If you want it stronger, continue to steep another 5-15 minutes. Add the vanilla bean paste and stir until combined.

Step 4

Put the syrup into a glass container.
