Tips:
- Use strawberries that are ripe, sweet, and in season for the best flavor.
- Make sure to wash the strawberries thoroughly before using them.
- If you don't have superfine sugar, you can make your own by blending granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until it's fine.
- For a more intense lavender flavor, use a lavender-infused simple syrup instead of plain simple syrup.
- You can also use other herbs, such as mint or basil, in place of the lavender.
- If you don't have time to make the lavender syrup, you can use store-bought lavender syrup or even just a squeeze of lemon juice.
