  • 1 cup blueberries fresh is great, frozen is totally fine
  • 1 cup water for the syrup
  • 3/4 to 1 cup sugar regular white sugar keeps the color bright
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons culinary lavender dried buds
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4 to 6 lemons
  • 3 to 4 cups cold water still or sparkling, depending on your mood
  • ice Ice lots of it

Method
 

Make the blueberry lavender simple syrup
  1. In a small pot, add blueberries, water, sugar (adjust for sweetness), and culinary lavender.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Let it bubble for about 5 to 7 minutes until blueberries burst and the syrup turns deep purple.
  4. Take it off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to steep.
  5. Strain through a fine strainer into a jar. Press berries gently to extract juice.

  2. Stir, taste, and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.
Serve it

Notes

Do not overdo the lavender; too much can taste soapy. Store leftover syrup in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks. This drink is also delicious with brunch.
