Hey Guys and Gals! A lavender and vanilla liqueur steeped in vodka and sweetened with simple syrup.
Ingredients
Step 1
1/4 cup dried or fresh lavender buds
1/2 vanilla bean
2 cups of vodka
Step 2 (optional)
2 cups of water
2 cups of sugar
Directions
1. Cut the vanilla bean in half and split one half open down the middle.
2. Combine the lavender, the half vanilla bean and the vodka in a container. Seal and shake.
3. Steep in a cool, dry place for 48 hours.
