In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and lavender and place over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and lower the heat a bit. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes at which time the sugar should have completely dissolved and the syrup started to thicken.
Let cool slightly and then strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the lavender.
Pour into an airtight container for storage.
