    The name of this product isn't an attack on its intellect but rather an implication on the level of difficulty in producing it.  The simple or syrup, or simple for short is commonly used to sweeten beverages, mainly cocktails.  Don't feel limited to use it just for drinking purposes as the simple could be used to drizzle some sweetness to your pastries or baked goods.  That being said, let's talk about flavoring you simple!  There are so many combinations of flavors depending on your needs but here are our top 5 simple flavors: Directions:  Bring water to approx 150 degrees (low heat) and heat lavender for approximately 30 minutes to release the oils.  Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes before removing plant.  Add 1:2 ratio water to sugar (1 cup water to 2 cups sugar) of granulated sugar and cook until liquid is clear (do not cook your sugar until it browns).  Store in refrigerator for 3 weeks (months if left in the freezer). Uses: Lemonades, Tea, Tonics, Martinis, Spritz Directions: Bring water and chopped Basil to a boil for 5-10 minutes (or until you achieve flavor intensity you desire).  Remove Basil and add sugar (Be sure to use 1:2 ratio water to sugar) and cook until liquid is clear. Uses: Lemonades, tonics, Gimlet, Gin/Vodka basil smash, Mojito Directions: Bring water and thyme to a boil for 5-10 minutes (or until you achieve flavor intensity you desire).  Remove thyme and add sugar (Be sure to use 1:2 ratio water to sugar) and cook until liquid is clear. Uses: Lemonades, tonics, gimlets Directions: Bring water and rosemary to a boil for 5-10 minutes (or until you achieve flavor intensity you desire).  Remove rosemary and add sugar (Be sure to use 1:2 ratio water to sugar) and cook until liquid is clear. Uses: Lemonades, tonics, gimlets, bourbon sour, gin cocktails Directions: Bring water and sliced jalapenos to a boil for 5-10 minutes (or until you achieve flavor intensity you desire).  Remove jalapenos and add sugar (Be sure to use 1:2 ratio water to sugar) and cook until liquid is clear. Uses: Margaritas, lemonades, mojito, paloma, mezcal cocktails, vodka cocktails, bloody mary Directions: Bring water and sliced mint to a boil for 5-10 minutes (or until you achieve flavor intensity you desire).  Remove mint and add sugar (Be sure to use 1:2 ratio water to sugar) and cook until liquid is clear.
