This beautifully refreshing drink combines the floral notes of lavender with the bright citrus of fresh lemons, creating a beverage that’s both soothing and invigorating. Perfect for warm afternoons, brunches, or simply when you need a touch of calm, this unique lemonade offers a twist on the classic summer drink.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water, divided
  • 1/4 cup culinary lavender buds (dried, food-grade)
  • 1/2 cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
  • Ice cubes and lemon slices, for serving
  • Fresh lavender sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Lavender Infusion

  • In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the lavender buds, remove from heat, and let steep for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
  • Strain the lavender-infused water into a large pitcher, discarding the buds.

Sweeten and Combine

  • Add the honey or sugar to the lavender infusion while it’s still warm, stirring until fully dissolved.
  • Pour in the remaining 2 cups of water and add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, stirring to combine.

Serve and Garnish

  • Chill the lavender lemonade in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Pour over ice cubes in glasses, and garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of fresh lavender for an extra touch.
