Instructions
Fill a pint jar with lilac flowers.
Bring the water to a boil and pour over the flowers. Let the lilac tea steep for several hours until it has completely cooled to room temperature.
Strain out the lilac flowers, then measure out one cup of lilac tea.
Add the honey to the tea and stir until combined. More or less honey can be added to taste depending on the desired sweetness level.
Store the lilac syrup in the refrigerator and it will keep for 3-4 weeks.
Notes
The syrup can be frozen for longer storage if desired. Freezing in ice cube trays is convenient, then you can use small amounts at a time as needed.
