Zubereitung von Lavender Soda
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup fresh lavender flowers (or 2 tablespoons dried), and 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, or until the syrup thickens and becomes slightly syrupy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lavender and ginger solids.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the cooled syrup.
- (Optional) Add a few drops of violet or blue food coloring for a more vibrant hue.
- To serve, mix 1 to 3 tablespoons of lavender syrup with chilled soda water in a highball glass filled with ice.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a few fresh lavender flowers for an elegant touch.
