In a small saucepan, combine the water and dried lavender.

Bring to a boil, then stir in the granulated sugar and allow it to dissolve.

Simmer mixture over low heat for 10 minutes. Do not boil.

Remove saucepan from heat. Cover and allow to steep for one hour, or until completely cool.

Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the dried lavender.

Use as desired. Store leftover lavender simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
