Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Sweetener Powdered
- 4 TBS Lavender Food Grade
- 1/2 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Prepare first all the ingredients needed for a smooth and easy process later. You can use allulose, monk fruit, or xylitol as sweeteners. They are all good, but make sure to use powdered ones because they dissolve easily.
- Start heating your pot and add the water and sweetener. Mix them with a whisk until the powdered sugar completely melts. I am using 1/2 cup of water, but if you want to make a bigger batch, you can do 1 cup or 2.
- Once you are done with the water mixture, add three tablespoons of lavender to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes. Heat and allow the lavender to infuse its flavor. After the cooking, use the filter to strain the lavender buds or flowers from the pot. Strain half of them and leave the other half in there.
- After straining half of the flowers, add enough xanthan gum and 1 tablespoon of fresh lavender to color the syrup. Mix until the xanthan gum dissolves, and then switch off the heat. Close the lid and let it steep for 30 more minutes for the best flavor.

Notes
- Sweetener: If you do not have a powdered sweetener, you can use crystallized ones, but crush or blend them so they dissolve quickly in water.
- Adjust: When making easy syrups like this, remember to taste if it suits your taste. Always check if it is sweet enough and adjust while you are in the cooking process.
- Xanthan gum: If you have no xanthan gum in your kitchen, use any suitable thickening agent or use guar gum instead.
