As we get deeper into spring and closer to summer, lemonade becomes a more popular drink. This lavender infused lemonade is a refreshing and calming way to enjoy the warmer weather!
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1.5 cups water
2 tbsp lavender buds
2 cups fresh lemon juice
6 cups cold water
Ice cubes
Instructions:
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar, 2 cups water, and lavender in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about thirty minutes.
Strain through a fine sieve and discard lavender buds.
In a large pitcher, mix the simple syrup, lemon juice, remaining water, and ice.
Serve with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon wedges.
Enjoy!
