Lavender Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is simple by design. This one adds one thing: culinary lavender, steeped long enough to do its work without turning everything purple and perfumed. The floral note is there, but it stays in the background. It works anywhere a plain syrup would. Stir it into a Campo Margarita or a Lavender 99, mix it into lemonade, or drizzle it over pancakes on a slow morning.
