First off, check out this beautiful lavender lemonade. Ain’t she a beauty?

Ingredients

1 cup of fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
1 cup of sugar
4 cups of water
2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender
Ice cubes
Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)
Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Start by making your lavender syrup. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the sugar. Heat it over medium until the sugar is dissolved.
Next, add the dried lavender to the saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes. It’s gonna smell heavenly!
Once you’re done simmering, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool. After it’s cooled, strain out the lavender flowers using a fine mesh sieve and set that syrup aside.
Now, in a pitcher, combine the remaining 3 cups of water with the fresh lemon juice. Pour in your lavender syrup and stir well. Taste it—if you want it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more sugar.
Chill your new Lavenade in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or until you’re ready to serve. When ready to serve, grab some fresh ice cubes and pour that lovely drink over them.
Garnish your glasses with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices if you’re feeling fancy. And voila!

That’s all there is to it! This Lavenade is refreshing, tasty, and sure to impress. Your kiddos will be asking for seconds, and maybe third. So go ahead, enjoy it on the porch or throw a little brunch and serve this up as a classy drink to your friends. Cheers!
