Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large panicle of clean lilacs

Instructions
 

  • Remove the lilac blossoms from the panicle and put into a small pot.
  • Add sugar and water to lilacs.
  • Gently heat mixture over medium-low heat just until sugar is dissolved. Don't boil or stew lilacs. It tends to kill the light floral flavor.
  • Remove from heat right away and strain into desired container.
  • Store in fridge.
  • Best used within a few days.
