How To Make Blueberry Lavender Simple Syrup
Place all ingredients, except lavender, in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring often to dissolve the cane sugar. Reduce heat down to low, add lavender and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Strain syrup through a fine-mesh colander, pressing berries to release all the juices. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator
