Lavender Honey Simple Syrup

I recently started making this lavender honey simple syrup to put in my afternoon oat milk latte, and it’s probably my favorite thing that I have all day.
I’m not usually into floral flavors, but several years ago, I took the recommendation from the barista at Spy House in Minneapolis to try their Spy Girl, a lavender honey latte, and I loved it so much that it's now my regular order there.
Something about the combination of the lavender and the honey gives it almost a Fruity Pebbles vibe? It's sweet, but not cloying, and this recipe is pretty similar in flavor to the Spy Girl of my heart, without the commute.
