Can I add this syrup to coffee?
Blueberry lavender syrup is beautiful in a strong espresso with rich cream. Simply add a tiny bit of syrup and see if it suits your taste buds. Add more as desired. Visit our lavender latte recipe or lavender iced coffee recipe for inspiration, just this syrup! How long does simple syrup last for?
Sugar is used in cooking as a preservative— think jams and jellies, which are also called preserves. So simple syrups have a decent shelf life, when prepared and stored properly: made with very hot water and stored in a sterile container in the refrigerator. A 1:1 simple syrup like this one lasts only one month when refrigerated. How do you store simple syrup?
The recommended way to store simple syrup is to use an airtight container that's been sterilized.
