Lavender Lemonade

If life gives you lemons…add lavender and make pink lemonade!  This is one of our favorite, summer time recipes to easily infuse lavender into your life.

Ingredients:

  • Ice Cubes
  • Cold Water
  • 2 cup Hot Water
  • 1/4 cup Dried Lavender Leaves OR 2 TBSP of Dried Lavender Flowers (The dried lavender flower buds are much stronger, so you won’t need as much!)
  • 6-10 Lemons
  • 3/4 cup White Sugar (Avoiding white sugar? Try sweetening with Lavender Honey, Agave, or Coconut Sugar instead!)

Directions:

  • Fill a pitcher with ice cubes.
  • Place Dried Lavender (leaves or buds (using flowers will turn your lemonade a lovely shade of lavender pink) into a bowl and cover with hot water allowing to steep until desired potency (usually 10 minutes).
  • Strain the lavender.
  • Mix in your sweetener and transfer the hot lavender water into the pitcher of ice cubes.
  • Juice your lemons (a plastic manual juicer works great!) and add the fresh juice to the pitcher.
  • Add your cold water.
  • Sample as you go to get the desired sweetness and lemon flavor you want.

Now get ready to make another batch, because the first one goes quick!
