How to make Lavender Lemonade

Sweet, tart, citrusy, floral. What’s not to love? This perfect lemonade could be easily transformed into an adult beverage with a few ounces of a crisp vodka, gin, or tequila. Oh hell, bourbon would be the bomb!

I’ve created this recipe to be ready in a hurry, ‘cause when the time is right- it’s right!

Lavender Lemonade

1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers (culinary)

1 cup organic sugar

2 cups of boiling water 

1 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 cups cold water

Mix the flowers and sugar together and crush up the blossoms by rubbing them between your fingers using the sugar to add friction. This isn’t absolutely necessary but it really helps bring out the full flavour of the lavender. Add the infused sugar to the boiling water and stir to dissolve. Then cover and let cool, or alternatively, let infuse for 10-15 minutes then strain directly into a pitcher that already has the 2 cups cold water, lemon juice and ice so that it cools down immediately.
