Print Recipe

A refreshing and soothing summer drink that combines the floral elegance of lavender with the citrusy zing of fresh lemons. Perfect for backyard barbecues, picnics, or lazy afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 6–8 large lemons, juiced (about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice)
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Ice for serving
  • Optional garnishes: lemon slices and sprigs of fresh lavender

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lavender Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons of dried lavender buds. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat and let it steep for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the lavender buds. Set the syrup aside and let it cool completely.
  3. Juice the Lemons: Juice your lemons to extract about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds, but keep the pulp for added texture and flavor.
  4. Mix the Lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine and taste. Adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.
  5. Chill & Serve: Add plenty of ice to the pitcher or serve over ice in individual glasses. Garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of fresh lavender.

Notes

[‘Don’t over-steep the lavender to avoid an overpowering flavor.’, ‘Use fresh lemons for the best taste.’, ‘Adjust sweetness to your preference.’, ‘Ensure the lavender syrup is completely cool before mixing with lemon juice and water.’, ‘Experiment with add-ins like sparkling water or fresh berries for variations.’]
