Instructions
- Cut the lavender flowers from the stems (no need to strip) and place in a medium bowl (be careful with glass bowls which may crack with boiling water.
- Pour the sugar over the flowers, and use your (clean) fingers to gently massage the flowers into the sugar.
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the lavender sugar and stir with a spoon until the sugar has melted. Cover and let infuse for 30 minutes.
