INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender flowers
- 5 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons dried pea flowers (optional, for color)
- Ice for serving
Single serving:
- Juice from 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon dried pea flowers (optional, for color)
- Ice for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the Lavender Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, 1 cup of water, and the lavender flowers. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then strain to remove the lavender flowers. You now have homemade lavender syrup!
- Prepare the Pea Flower Tea (optional, for color): Steep the dried pea flowers in 1 cup of hot water for 5-10 minutes, then strain. The water should now be a deep blue.
- Assemble the Lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of cold water. Add the lavender syrup, and stir well. If using, slowly pour in the pea flower tea until you achieve the desired color.
- Serve: Pour the lemonade over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender or a slice of lemon, if desired. Enjoy!
NOTE
Adjust the sugar to taste. If you like your lemonade more on the tart side, start with less sugar. You can always add more lavender syrup if needed.
