Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 sprigs Fresh lavender sprigs (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, the granulated sugar, and the dried culinary lavender.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the lavender syrup steep for 10 minutes to extract the floral flavor.
Strain the lavender syrup into a pitcher using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender flowers.
Add the fresh lime juice and the remaining 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher, stirring to combine.
Taste the limeade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the lavender limeade over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a fresh lavender sprig and a lime slice, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fragrant, refreshing beverage!
