I would certainly use the lavender flowers in the sugar syrup and strain them out before it gets too hot, or let them steep in some grain alcohol for a couple weeks, strain and use as you would any other flavoring extract.

I think though that the best solution is the crystallize the lavender. You know cook in simple syrup and let dry. The lavender would taste better and you'd still be able to see it rather than having to grind it and lose the beauty.
