Lavender Lemonade is so simple to make and the taste is just yummy and refreshing. Make sure you are using lavender that hasn’t been treated with pesticides. I always have my own lavender plant growing…. I use lavender in so many projects and recipes. This lemonade is a showstopper at a summer party.
Spiked Lavender Lemonade
5 c. water
1-1/2 c. sugar
6-12 stems of fresh lavender
2-1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-qt. saucepan
strainer
optional: 1 c. vodka
1. Bring 2-1/2 cups of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sugar, stirring until dissolved, to create a simple syrup. Add the lavender stems and remove the saucepan from the heat.
2. Cover the pot and allow the mixture to cool about 10 minutes. This step allows the lavender to infuse into the syrup. Remove the lavender from the syrup and strain to remove any small pieces.
3. Combine the remaining water, lemon juice and lavender syrup and stir well. Serve over crushed ice and garnish with lemons and/or lavender sprigs.
Optional: Add 1 cup of vodka to make spiked lemonade for the adults.
