Lavender Lemonade Recipe

Serves 6

Ingredients:

2-3 Tbsp dried Organic Lavender Flowers
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Organic Blue Agave or Texas Honey
2 Cups freshly squeezed lemons (about 10-12 lemons)
Fresh water and ice

Optional Ingredients:

Red & blue Food Coloring for lavender color.
Dried Lavender Sprigs for garnish
Extra Lemon for garnish

Instructions:

In small sauce pan, bring 2 cups water to boil. While waiting to boil, place lavender flowers in tea infuser. Once water is boiling, take off burner and stir in sugar, agave (or honey) until dissolved. Place tea infuser inside of pan and cover. Let set for 15 minutes.

In large pitcher (I prefer glass like this one) pour 4 cups of water. Add 2 cups freshly squeezed lemons. For squeezing the lemons, I love my handy, dandy lemon squeezer. BTW, I also use the squeezer for small oranges. Stir together. Add a drop of red and drop of blue food coloring if you want drink to be lavender.

Remove lavender infuser from sauce pan, and pour lavender/sugar mixture into pitcher. Stir.

Refrigerate about an hour to let all the ingredients blend. When serving, pour over ice and garnish with lemon wedge & optional lavender sprig.

Voila! You’re ready to serve a lavender lemonade mocktail on those hot, hot summer days. .. or really anytime. I used to drink iced tea all day long, but since I only drink tea occasionally now, I appreciate a special drink to savor. It just makes me feel special. Added bonus, all the lavender benefits, and you can’t go wrong.
