How to Make Strawberries In Lemon Lavender Syrup

  1. Rinse 1 pound of fresh strawberries thoroughly and drain well.
  2. Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters. Place them in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender (or 2-3 whole cardamom seeds). Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the lavender (or cardamom) has infused the syrup.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the lavender blossoms (or cardamom seeds).
  5. Pour the strained syrup over the prepared strawberries in the bowl. Gently toss to coat the strawberries evenly.
  6. Serve the strawberries and syrup immediately in attractive glass bowls or stemmed glasses.
  7. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
  8. For ahead-of-time preparation: Prepare the syrup in advance and let it cool completely. Toss with berries just before serving.
  9. Enjoy! Makes 4 servings.
