Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Lemon slices
- 4 pieces Fresh lavender sprigs
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, the dried culinary lavender, and the granulated sugar.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully dissolved. This typically takes about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the lavender to steep in the sugar water for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the blueberries and 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth.
Strain the blended blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any solids.
Strain the lavender-infused syrup through a fine mesh sieve into the same pitcher, discarding the lavender buds.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher, stirring well to combine.
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if desired.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lavender blue lemonade over the ice.
Garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of fresh lavender for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
