Here is an easy lavender lemonade recipe that's fragrant and refreshing. It's a nice way to up your lemonade game!
If love lavender as much as I do, you're going to make this lavender infused lemonade over and over again! It's simple but it makes you feel you're drinking an expensive lemonade at a fancy restaurant!
I love the floral taste of lavender. When added to lemonade, it makes the perfect drink! It's ideal for baby or bridal showers, a simple summer gathering, a party or even a backyard barbecue.
A twist on a classic
To make this recipe, I used my homemade lavender simple syrup. Be sure to check out the recipe since I've detailed the different types of lavender and made suggestions about what to look for when lavender-shopping.
It takes just a few minutes to make lavender syrup and you can keep it in the fridge for about a month. It's floral and aromatic and pairs perfectly with the good old lemonade we all love.
Pro tip: Make a big batch of my lavender simple syrup and keep it in the fridge. This way you can be prepared to make lavender lemonade whenever a craving strikes!
Instructions
- Make the lavender simple syrup by simmering sugar, water and edible lavender. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Once the syrup is completely cool, pour it into a pitcher with some lemon juice. Add water and stir well to combine.
- Fill the pitcher or glasses with ice and serve this refreshing lavender lemonade!
To make this drink sugar free, simmer the lavender buds with water for a few minutes and then stir in 2 tablespoon honey. Stir until fully combined and let it cool. Then make the lemonade as instructed.
Add a couple drops of purple food coloring to the syrup before making the drink.
