Lavender simple syrup

My friends are getting married this week, and since I'm a bridesmaid, things have been a little crazy! However, I did make time this morning to try a recipe for lavender simple syrup since my lavender plant died...it was inevitable. But a fun alternative an super tasty! I only wish it were thicker...

Lavender - how i love thee

I used to hate this dang plant.  

But maybe it's the turning of the corner into adulthood why I like it now...maybe it's from living with Coleen...hmmm...???  Nonetheless, this plant has been blessing me in this, the LAST week of school!  

And who knew it had teeny, tiny flowers in the ends?  I never noticed that.
