Crème de Lavender
Dried Lavender buds (Lavender Tea) 2-4 T
Barrel Strength Brandy ½ cup
Water ½ cup
Sugar ½ cup
Butterfly pea flowers 1 T (opt)
Combine spirits with half of lavender in jar. If desired also add optional pea flowers to make purple. Close jar, shake and let sit in dark cool location 3-5 days shaking occasionally. After aging strain out the buds/flowers.
In pot bring water to boil. Remove from heat and add other half of the lavender. Allow to steep for 3 minutes. Do not steep for too long or you can extract a soapy flavor. Strain out solids and return to boil. Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved then allow to cool.
Once cool add infused spirit to the syrup and enjoy.
