Print Recipe

A refreshing and unique summer drink combining sweet blueberries, floral lavender, and tangy lemon for a sophisticated twist on classic lemonade.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 4–5 medium lemons)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds
  • 3.5 cups water
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnish: fresh lavender sprigs, lemon slices, or extra blueberries

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and set aside to cool.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and release their juices. Mash the blueberries slightly with a fork or wooden spoon. Strain the mixture to remove solids and set aside to cool.
  3. Juice 4-5 medium lemons to yield about 1 cup of lemon juice.
  4. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender syrup, blueberry mixture, and lemon juice. Add 3 cups of cold water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or water as needed.
  5. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled. Stir again to distribute the flavors evenly.
  6. Pour the lemonade into glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh lavender, a slice of lemon, and a few whole blueberries.
