My sister Ann sent me this recipe. I love lavender and with several plants, there seems to be an adequate supply of lavender buds to use for summer drinks and sorbet. This drink is so utterly refreshing that it has become my mainstay this summer.
Start by making lavender simple syrup:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup lavender buds
Bring it to a boil, then simmer for five minutes. Strain and refrigerate. Should keep for 7-10 days
The mojito:
In a tall glass, combine these ingredients:
ice
1 shot rum
1 shot lavender simple syrup
1 sprig of mint, muddled
1 lime, juiced
top with club soda
