Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
- 4 cups cold water
- Fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and lavender buds over low heat for about 5 minutes. Do not boil. This infuses the honey with lavender flavor.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the honey steep for another 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the honey mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds. Discard the buds.
- In a pitcher, combine the strained honey mixture and fresh lemon juice. Stir well.
- Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir until everything is well combined.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the honey lavender lemonade chilled, over ice. Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices if desired.
Notes
- Ensure you use culinary lavender, as other types may not be suitable for consumption.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your preference for sweetness.
- For a stronger lavender flavor, you can steep the honey longer.
