📝 Preparation Steps

Place blueberries and sugar into a medium bowl. Crush the berries, and then stir to combine.
sugar1 cup
2
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. Allow to macerate for up to two days.
3
Meanwhile, place lavender into a nonreactive container, cover with cider vinegar, and refrigerate for up to two days.
4
Position a fine-mesh strainer over a small bowl and pour blueberry mixture through to remove solids.
5
Strain vinegar mixture over the same mesh strainer, into same bowl as blueberry syrup. Allow to combine.
6
You may have some sugar clinging to the berry solids in the strainer. If so, set the strainer with the solids over another small bowl. Pour the syrup-and-vinegar mixture over the solids to wash the sugar into the bowl. Repeat as needed.
