Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups water divided for simple syrup and lemonade
  • 1 cup sugar granulated
  • 2 tbsp dried lavender buds culinary
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4-6 lemons)
  • cooled lavender syrup
  • ice
  • lemons and lavender for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and culinary dried lavender buds. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved. 
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately, cover it, and let the lavender steep for 15-30 minutes. Steeping longer will result in a stronger lavender flavor.
  • Once steeped, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bowl. Press gently on the lavender buds with the back of a spoon to extract all the flavorful liquid. Discard the spent lavender buds. Allow the lavender simple syrup to cool completely before proceeding.
  • In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the 3 cups of cold water, and all of the cooled lavender simple syrup. Stir everything together thoroughly until well mixed.
  • Taste your lemonade! If you prefer it tarter, add a little more lemon juice. If you like it sweeter, stir in a bit more simple syrup (you can quickly make more if needed, just scale down the recipe).
  • Fill glasses with ice, pour in your vibrant homemade lavender lemonade, and garnish each glass with a fresh sprig of lavender and a thin slice of lemon.
