3poundslemons, juiced
1 ¼cupsagave syrup
1tablespoonfood grade lavender
Instructions
Juice lemons and combine in a medium pot with agave and lavender buds. Bring to a simmer, stirring regularly to dissolve agave. Remove mixture from heat, cover, and let steep for 45-60 minutes.
Strain out lavender buds with a mesh strainer. Return concentrate mixture to heat and boil until mixture reduces by about a third, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove concentrate from heat and let cool. Store concentrate in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 7-10 days, or process for canning.
If you’re canning, funnel hot concentrate into prepared half-pint jars, wipe the rims, apply lids and rings, and process in boiling water for 10 minutes.
