Notes
- To make lavender-infused simple syrup, combine equal parts water and granulated sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, add dried culinary lavender buds (about 1 tablespoon per cup of water), and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain out the lavender buds before using the syrup.
- CBD tincture dosage can vary depending on the product. Adjust according to personal preference and tolerance.
- Enjoy responsibly, and never drink and drive.
