The process involves infusing the floral essence of lavender into a simple sugar solution. This results in a flavorful liquid that retains the characteristic aroma and taste of the lavender plant. A basic culinary technique, it transforms granulated sugar and water into a medium capable of carrying the distinctive flavor profile of this herb.
The resulting flavored liquid enhances a variety of culinary and beverage applications. Historically, infusing herbs and flowers into syrups provided a method for preserving flavors and medicinal properties. Today, the infusion provides a delicate floral note in cocktails, desserts, and other culinary creations, offering a sophisticated alternative to conventional flavorings.
