How long does Honey Lavender Syrup last?

Honey Lavender Syrup can last up to two weeks when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best results, keep it in a dark glass jar to protect it from light.

Can I use fresh lavender instead?

While fresh lavender can be used, it has a different flavor profile compared to dried lavender. You will need to use more fresh lavender and steep a shorter time to prevent bitterness.

What can I use Honey Lavender Syrup in?

Honey Lavender Syrup is versatile! You can use it in cocktails, iced teas, pancakes, yogurt, or as a sweetener for your morning coffee.

If you replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup, you can easily make this honey lavender syrup vegan. Both options provide sweetness without the use of bee products.

Can I freeze Honey Lavender Syrup?

Freezing is not advisable for Honey Lavender Syrup as it can alter the texture and flavors. Instead, store it in the refrigerator for the freshest taste.
