Ingredients
  • 1 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Lavender Flowers

Infusion Process

In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and dried lavender flowers. Ensure the lavender is evenly distributed within the syrup.

Simmering

Place the saucepan over low heat. Gently simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the flavor of the syrup.

Steeping

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup steep for at least 30 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the lavender flavor will be. You can steep for up to a few hours, checking the flavor periodically.

Straining

Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove the lavender flowers. This will ensure a smooth texture.

Storage

Pour the infused maple syrup into a clean glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
