Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 cups water (1,362 grams, divided)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • ¼ cup honey (88 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons dried culinary lavender (1724)
  • 2 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice (454 grams, from 10-12 lemons)
  • Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
  • Lavender petals (optional, for garnish)
  • Blue or purple food coloring (optional, to enhance color)

Instruction

  • Over medium heat, combine 2 cups of water and the sugar, bringing to a boil until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and stir in the honey and lavender.
  • Allow the mixture to steep for 2 hours (less if you want less of a lavender taste).
  • Strain the liquid, pressing the lavender down to make sure you get all of those juices into your mixture!
  • In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, lavender mixture and the remaining 4 cups of water.
  • Feel free to add a couple drops of blue or purple food coloring if you want more color than the lavender provides. Makes the lemonade especially cute for those brunches! Serve over ice.
