Lilac syrup is easy to make, combining 1 cup water with 2 cups sugar and adding lilacs for flavor. Remove the green bits from the blooms to reduce bitterness. The darker the blooms, the more colorful the syrup.
1: In a pot, combine 1 cup of water and 2 cups of sugar.
2: Heat until the sugar is dissolved.
3: Add lilacs to the mixture.
4: If desired, remove the green parts from the blooms to reduce bitterness.
5: Add green cardamom for flavor.
6: Allow to simmer and then cool before using.
