Lavender Syrup

witchytitz:

This recipe is
great for a syrup to add to your tea or coffee for a little sweetness and
flavor. It’s really good for simple spells as well and can be put out as an
offering to fae and spirits alike. I like to add it to my tea at night for
visions while I sleep. I also have started using it as an offering to one of my
spirit companions and they love it. 

• 1 cup water
• 2 cups white
  granulated sugar or sugar substitute
• 3 tablespoons
  – ½ cup lavender*

STEPS

1. Place water and lavender into a saucepan and bring to
   a boil.
2. Add in sugar or sugar substitute; stir until the sugar
   has dissolved completely before turning down the heat and allowing simmering
   for 15 minutes
3. Make sure to stir it every so often as to make sure
   nothing on the bottom burns
4. Remove from heat, cover, and allow the syrup to cool
   for ½-1 hour. The longer that you let it sit the more intense the flavor it
   will be.
5. Once it is cool, strain of the lavender and transfer into
   a jar. Store in the fridge

*The more
lavender that you add the more intense the flavor will be as well. I personally
use ½ cup of lavender for a more intense smell and flavor. As well as let it
sit for an hour in the pot as it cools. The longer that you let it seep the darker the color will be too. It turns out to be a lovely purple color regardless.

Depending on the type of tea you use too will depend on
