Equipment

  • fine mesh strainer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons dried lavender or a handful of fresh lavender
  • 4-5 cups cool water

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium high heat, add 1 cup water and lavender flowers
  • Boil for 10-20 minutes.
  • Strain hot lavender water into a large glass.
  • Add honey and stir until dissolved.
  • Stir in lemon juice and remaining water.
  • Place in the refrigerator until nice and chilled.

Notes

  • For the pictures, I sprinkled the glasses with dried lavender. Don’t do this in real life. It's beautiful but tastes pretty terrible. Garnishing with a fresh lavender sprig will work great!
  • Add more or less lavender to adjust to the liking of your taste buds. 
  • If you like weaker lemonade add more water.
  • No honey? No problem. Swap out the honey for sugar.
