Lavender Simple Syrup Instructions

1. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan.
2. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Add the dried lavender and bring the mixture back up to a simmer.
4. Turn off the heat, cover, and allow the lavender to infuse the simple syrup for at least 30 minutes.

3. Pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze overnight.

Notes
