Gather the ingredients.
Bring the water and lavender to a boil in a saucepan.
Reduce the heat and stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
Simmer for about 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool and steep for at least 1 hour or longer, until the flavor is to your liking. Strain out the lavender. Pour the lavender syrup into a bottle and keep in the refrigerator. Mix the syrup into your favorite drinks and enjoy.
