In a medium saucepan, combine one cup of sugar and one cup of water.
Toss in a couple sprigs lavender. (about one teaspoon of culinary lavender)
Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. This will take 5-8 minutes.
Strain the herbs from the simple syrup and allow it to cool completely before using.
This makes about 1 1/4 cup of Lavender Simple Syrup -- enough for about 10 cocktails per the recipe above.
