Ingredients
- ½ cup organic, food-grade lavender
- 1 cup vodka - or Everclear
- natural purple food dye - a few drops
Instructions
- Pour ½ cup of dry lavender flowers into a sealable jar and add 1 cup of vodka. Seal, and let it refrigerate for 2 days.
- Remove the jar, and squeeze your spirit out of the flowers with cheese cloth. It will be a pretty golden brown color. If you want it to add a lavender hue to your drinks, add a few drops of natural purple food dye and mix.
Notes
This recipe is to be used more as a bitters than a liqueur. It's very concentrated, so just 3-5 drops in a cocktail will give it the essence of a field of lavender.
It will last for 2-3 months when refrigerated.
