    Lavender Simple Syrup can be added to drinks, desserts, waffles, and pancakes. It adds a hint of a floral flavor without being overpowering.

    It is super easy to make and elevates anything you add it to. It's inexpensive and the ingredients are pretty easy to come by.

    It can be made into an Iced Matcha Latte with Lavender, Lavender Chai Tea Latte, Lavender Lemonade, Lavender Mojito, or a Latte with Lavender. Experiment with it in a cocktail or mocktail.

    Other recipes to try are my Rose Syrup, Chai Spice Blend recipe, and Raspberry Syrup.
