Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It’s an easy way to make a small batch of homemade honey lavender syrup. No need to run out to buy a large bottle from the store!

This syrup is perfect for coffees, teas, lemonades, cocktails, and more. I especially like it in my lavender london fog in the winter and in my lavender lemonade in the summer. These two recipes originally use lavender syrup, but the honey flavor is a delicious addition.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients needed to make honey lavender syrup.

honey — use your favorite honey! Honey comes in many flavors, such as clover honey, wildflower honey, or orange blossom honey. I always recommend local honey when possible. As honey is the main flavoring agent, using good quality and flavorful honey will do you wonders. If you don’t have honey, you can try my lavender simple syrup.
lavender — make sure to get culinary-grade lavender. I’m quite lucky that there are a ton of lavender farms in Ontario, and I purchased mine at this shop in Dundas. You can also find it on Amazon.

How to Make Honey Lavender Syrup

In a small pot, combine the lavender, honey, and water over medium heat.
Stir as you bring the syrup up to a simmer. No need to bring it up to a boil, a gentle simmer is all you need.
Simmer for 2 minutes or until the honey is dissolved into the mixture, and then remove the syrup from the heat and let it steep for 10 to 25 minutes, depending on how strong you’d like the lavender honey syrup to taste.

Recipe Tips and Notes

A fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth is great for straining the syrup.
I like to do a little taste test when the lavender is steeping to see how strong I’d like the flavor to be. Be careful, though, as the mixture is hot.
If you do not have honey on hand, you can use sugar and make my regular lavender syrup recipe instead.

Make Ahead Tips

Once cooled, store the lavender-flavored syrup in a mason jar or syrup bottle for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
