- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Culinary lavender
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 sprigs Fresh lavender sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, granulated sugar, and culinary lavender.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take approximately 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the lavender syrup steep for 15-20 minutes to infuse the flavor fully.
Strain the lavender syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl or pitcher to remove the lavender buds.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the lavender lemonade over the ice.
Garnish with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant and refreshing lavender lemonade!
