I'm seeing a lot of blueberry-lavender syrup going on lately, and I approve wholeheartedly! This is such an easy and delicious syrup for the season, and it's good with so many different base spirits.
This lovely cocktail (three ingredients!) couldn't be simpler!

Method
Simmer 1 cup water and a 1/2 cup sugar with 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen) and 1-3 tsp (depending on how intensely floral a syrup you want) dried lavender (or fresh, if you have it). Simmer gently until the berries pop (you can mash them a bit to help the process) and syrup starts to thicken a bit (maybe 10-15 minutes or so?). Cool and strain.
