Thyme Lavender Simple Syrup

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups  sugar (healthysweetener of your choice, you need to adjust to match 2 cups white sugar)
  • 1 ½ cups  water
  • 1 drop Thyme doTERRAessential oil
  • 2 drops Lavender doTERRAessential oil

Instructions
 

  • Boil water and sugar until dissolved.  Add oils to a small container – do not dripinto the sugar so you can control the portions of the oils.  If you want to back off the intensity of theflavor, use a toothpick in the oil bottle and swirl.  Using a small glass container, add theessential oils and then put some of the sugar water into that container severaltimes to “wash out” the oil into the simple syrup. 
    Do not boil again after adding essentialoils. 

Notes

This recipe makes much more than needed for one cocktail. If you want a larger batch, chill, sealed, in the refrigerator for additional cocktails. Smaller batch: I reduced the ingredients to ¼ of this recipe and it was plenty for a few cocktails.
