Blueberry Lavender Simple Syrup

Blueberry Lavender Simple Syrup

Blueberry Lavender Simple Syrup leans into an unexpected pairing—ripe, jammy blueberry layered with the soft, aromatic lift of lavender—bringing fruit and floral together in a way that feels balanced rather than competing. The blueberry provides depth and natural sweetness, while the lavender adds just enough brightness to keep it from reading heavy or overly sweet, creating a syrup that’s both structured and nuanced.

Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups water (filter)
3 cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp lavender (culinary grade)
3 cups blueberries

Instructions

Infusion Ingredient Prep

If you are using fresh blueberries, wash thoroughly. Skip this step if using frozen.

Syrup Prep

Pour 3 cups of granulated white sugar into 6-cup stockpot.
Add 3 cups of blueberries into stockpot and muddle into sugar until blueberries are thoroughly smashed and sugar is stained with blueberry juice completely.
Add 3 cups filtered water onto muddled sugar and stir to combine.

Cooking

Bring ingredients to a boil in the stockpot until sugar is completely dissolved.
Reduce heat to and let ingredients simmer for at least 30 minutes.
Add 1 tbsp culinary grade lavender buds.
Remove stockpot from heat and let lavender steep in mixture while it cools for at least 1 hour.

Straining

Place mesh strainer over large pot or bowl (deeper than the depth of the strainer so that the liquid clears the bottom of the strainer).
Slowly pour contents of simmered liquid into strainer. Using muddler, gently press as much liquid from the contents of the strainer as possible (without damaging your strainer from the pressure).

Storing

Pour syrup into glass swing-top bottle (or jar if you don't have a bottle) and store at least 4 hours in the fridge to cool. Overnight cooling is even better.
