This Lilac Syrup is my new favorite kitchen secret and I am so excited to share it with you! Use it in summer cocktail mixes or as a base for a cake glaze over a vanilla sponge cake.
Herbal and infused for hours, the flavors from these beautiful florets are just something special and unique. You can also dry out some of these beautiful flowers to use as garnish when using this lilac syrup in a recipe.
To make Lilac Syrup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a saucepan over medium heat, boil 2 cups of water and stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar until completely dissolved.
Add 4 cups of rinsed and cleaned florets and gently stir. Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the florets to steep for about 3-8 hours.
Pour the florets through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl allowing the finer drops to drip through.
Pour the prepared syrup into a glass jar with a tight seal. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or serve in your favorite cocktails! Enjoy!
This Lilac Syrup is so handy to keep in your fridge. What are some of your favorite ways to use it? Let us know and share some of your cocktail night pics online. Tag #cookmerecipes for us to see what you’re up to!
