This simply made homemade lavender honey syrup is great to add to some of your favorite beverages- water, lemonade, mocktails or to sweeten tea.

Did you know you can eat lavender? Yes, it is a fragrant flower but also an edible herb. Lavender is one of my favorite herbs to use in the kitchen. I love the floral scent that it brings to the house when I’m making this recipe. In addition to the aroma, it is very versatile in cooking and has so many good health benefits.

Health benefits of lavender

  • Calms stress and anxiety
  • An uplifting aromatherapy scent
  • Promotes detoxification- limonene, a major compound in lavender, stimulates digestives enzymes in the liver
  • Helps reduces blood pressure
  • A source of Vitamin A linked to promoting eye health
  • Used as a headache and PMS pain reliever

Sourcing lavender

You can grow your own lavender in a flowerbed or garden to have on hand. You can also purchase lavender online that is organically sourced. If you are going to be consuming lavender, I strongly recommend making sure it is certified organic or from your own garden. I choose to use the Starwest Botanicals. It is certified organic and sourced from France.

How to make lavender honey syrup

Your going to want to gather your lavender buds, water, sugar of choice and stove top pot. Combine water and lavender into pot. Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and stir in the sugar and honey letting it dissolve. Let it simmer for 20 minutes uncovered. This will make your whole house smell wonderful. πŸ™‚ Remove from heat and let sit until cool. Once cooled, you will want to strain out the lavender buds using a cheese cloth or fine strainer. Pour contents into glass bottle and keep refrigerated until use.
