Homemade lavender syrup

FULL INSTRUCTIONS:
ingredients:
200 g of fresh lavender blossoms ＊
2 organic lemons
50 g of citric acid
2,5 l of water
2 kg of granulated sugar ＊＊
＊ You can definitely use less, I used this much for a really strong lavender flavor.
＊＊ I don't recommend using less, because sugar is the preservative and keeps the syrup fresh for a longer amount of time.
________________________
directions:
Cut fresh lavender blossoms and put them in a pot. Add lemon slices, citric acid and water and make sure that everything is fully soaked. Put the pot into the fridge and let it rest for 24 - 48 hours (depends on how strong you want the syrup).
Then remove the lemons and lavender blossoms and squeeze out the excess water. TIP: You can leave some blossoms for decorating the syrup bottles later. Strain the infused water through cloth and warm it up (don't boil). Add sugar and stir until it fully dissolves. Pour the syrup into bottles, let it cool down and finally add the lavender blossom as a decoration.
Keep the syrup refrigerated.

I'm new to using lavender, and your video has made me want to learn even more. Could you please answer a couple of questions for me? 1. What was the drink at the end of your video? 2. What things do you use Lavender syrup for? 3. Can this recipe be made with dried flowers? I have 2 pounds of organic lavender (Whole Flowers) that a friend gave to me. So I know I can make lavender jelly with the dried flowers, but am not sure if I can substitute them in this recipe. Thank you again for your inspiration. I don't usually watch videos that don't have the person actually talking. So that should tell you how much I loved your video. LOL. Thank you again.

[@timeazakova]

hi, i can't answer the 1. question, but here are the others:) 2. you can use it for several things - add it to your oatmeal, pancakes, cakes, waffles etc., mix it with soda (ice,lemon) and have refreshing drink,add it to your coffee or drinks of your choice, just google it and there is plenty of options😊 3. yes you can definitely use dried ones, they just have to be edible:)

Thanks for sharing. I will do exactly the same you show next week. Hope will turn out same color like you did. Thank you again.

[@TheRichardsonReport]

Wonderful video, very good use of your environment for shots, really beautiful. How long do you think the syrup will last in the frig? Just curious.... again great job!

[@agustingabrielcanepa6370]

Thanks a lot. very nice and wonderful video.

[@Shantall_Realms]

If we have lavender buds, would you recommend 200 g too?

[@aprilteesdale3146]

How long do you refrigerate it for?

[@marianaolvera6503]

Hello! how long does it last in the frige? And is it necesary to keep in the frige?

[@silviawassef504]

I thought syrup has to be thick not watery.

[@songbirdforJesus]

This is a very large recipe. What if I just have a small amount of lavender? 28 grams or so.

[@VIXXlight_VIXXComeBack]

Ok based on the description of the vid she added 200g of whole lavender and these are the measurements of the syrup she made (yes, I copy+pasted it): ingredients: 200 g of fresh lavender blossoms ＊ 2 organic lemons 50 g of citric acid 2,5 l of water 2 kg of granulated sugar ＊＊ You could do a bit of calculations here if you want the exactly same flavor of lavender syrup she made, though based on her description it has a strong lavender scent so you could do a bit of adjustments accdg to your taste, just don't skip out on the sugar and the citric acid they're both preservatives (specifically the citric acid for preserving the color) and it is important to adjust them to your liking.

[@jettyd69]

Does the lemon take over the lavender taste?

[@808quake]

Looks great. Can I skip adding Citric acid? Is this syrup sour? Thank you

[@broccoligirl9019]

Isn't lavender toxic to cats if it is good thing your cat didn't eat it and did eat some catnip instead

[@roxanneharris7067]

Can I omit the Citric Acid? Or is it only necessary if I am keeping the syrup for a long time?

[@LuciesThriftsAndTrashures]

Hello! It's not only used as a conservant, but it also helps to adjust the taste of the syrup, so I'd not recommend omiting it.

[@roxanneharris7067]

Ok, thanks very much for your reply, it is truly appreciated.

[@LuciesThriftsAndTrashures]

@@roxanneharris7067 You're welcome & I hope you'll enjoy the syrup! 💜

[@beautybynesh6806]

Can this be used in coffee??

[@lorip6846]

What is the reason for the lemons?

[@zeroplay4967]

Why my lavender syrup become brown not have color like this? 😅

[@VIXXlight_VIXXComeBack]

A year late but did you add citric acid?

[@zeroplay4967]

@@VIXXlight_VIXXComeBack i think now. If my memory not mistaken. I use lavender and lemon juice and water and sugar. And my sirup colors have same colors like tea 😅 In finals i put lavender purple food coloring to make my syrup looks like the video 😂

[@VIXXlight_VIXXComeBack]

@@zeroplay4967 Ah ok, well I might not be the biggest expert since I literally never tried making this, but maybe next time try adding more lemon or try to find citric acid specifically since that is commonly used to preserve colors of natural food dyes. It should be the right amount to be able to preserve the purple color of the lavenders. And I would recommend reading the description of the video just in case.

[@VIXXlight_VIXXComeBack]

@@zeroplay4967 also just to be sure, do you remember boiling the pot?

[@naomidenisepinedaspirit-bo7955]

that’s aaaalot of sugar. lol

[@mexshwag420]

its a syrup. most standard syrups are 1part liquid : 1 part sugar. some are even 2:1. you don't drink it straight. its for mixing. If you are avoiding sugar then just make a tea.
