1. Heat sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely. 2. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. 3. Add the lavender flowers (and the herbes de Provence, if using). 4. Cover, and let flowers steep for 30-45 minutes. 5. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or paper coffee filter into a measuring glass (with a lip for easy pouring). 6. Add lemon juice. 7. Pour into a clean container (preferably sterilized), cap, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze. 8. Note: the syrup will not freeze solid-- you will be able to scoop out a spoonful easily! 9. Stir a spoonful of Lavender Syrup into your favorite beverage! It's delicious in lemonade, tea or ice-water. Try it in my Provence Cocktail, recipe # 250030. OR, drizzle over pancakes, waffles, French toast, scones, fruit, puddings, cakes or ice cream. Thicken with confectioner's sugar to make an exquisite glaze for cookies or cakes. 10. Makes a beautiful hostess gift tied with a pretty ribbon! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
