Lavender Lemonade
The sugar/lemon balance will depend on what types of lemons you are using (Meyer lemons are less tart than regular lemons), and your own preference for sweetness.
Lavender Lemonade is a fragrant, refreshing, and beautiful drink. This Lavender Lemonade Recipe is the ultimate party drink to make for baby shower drinks, wedding showers, Summer BBQs, and more! Cheers to Spring! This Purple Lemonade is such a pretty sip to bring to any party.
INGREDIENTS
LAVENDER SYRUP
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
2 sprigs fresh lavender
LEMONADE
3 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 3/4 cups water
1 cup lavender syrup
1 big handful of fresh mint
lemon slices for garnish
fresh lavender sprigs for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Add 2 cups of water, the honey, and dried lavender to a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir to dissolve the honey.
Once the honey is dissolved, turn off the heat and let the mixture infuse for 30 minutes.
While you're waiting for the mixture to infuse, pour the lemon juice into a pitcher.
Strain the lavender mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the pitcher with the lemon juice.
Pour 2 cups of cold water (or more if desired) into the pitcher and stir together. Add ice and lemon slices.
To serve, pour the lavender lemonade into glasses with ice and garnish with fresh lavender blossoms.
LISA'S TIPS
You can always tweak the amount of honey or other sweetener, with more or less, to your liking.
