Lavender Gin & Tonic
- ¼ c. dried lavender
- ½ c. sugar
- ½ c. water
- 1 oz. Gin
- 1 oz. Lemon juice
- 3 oz. Tonic water
- Lemon slices
- Lavender springs
Make:
- Prepare the lavender simple syrup by combining the dried lavender, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until sugar dissolves. Continue to simmer for one minute, and then remove from heat. Pour through a mesh strainer to remove lavender pieces and set aside.
- In a shaker filled halfway with ice, combine the gin, lemon juice, lavender simple syrup, and tonic water. Shake until chilled, and strain into glass. Garnish with lemon slices and lavender springs, if desired.
