Lavender lemonade is a unique twist on the classic summer drink. Utilized for its calming properties, lavender adds a subtle flavor that transforms regular lemonade into an aromatic experience. Here’s how to craft this beautiful concoction.

Lavender Lemonade in a glass with lavender sprigs

Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water (for simple syrup)
  • 1 cup dried culinary lavender (do not use non-culinary lavender)
  • 5 cups cold water (to dilute)
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)
  • Fresh lavender sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. First, prepare the lavender simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and the dried lavender. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes. This will allow the lavender to infuse its flavor into the syrup.
  3. After steeping, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into another container, discarding the lavender flowers. This syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  4. Next, in a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the lavender syrup. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more syrup if needed.
  5. Add the 5 cups of cold water to the pitcher, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
  6. To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the lavender lemonade. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs for that extra touch of elegance.

Enjoy this refreshing and aromatic Lavender Lemonade with friends and family, perfect for sunny afternoons or any social gathering!
