Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 4 cups Chilled sparkling water or soda water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 sprigs Fresh lavender sprigs (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender, 2 cups of water, and granulated sugar. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve fully and the lavender to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the lavender syrup cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the lavender pieces.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender syrup, lemon juice, orange juice, and the remaining 2 cups of water. Stir well to mix.
Just before serving, add the chilled sparkling water or soda water to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the lavender punch over the ice.
Optional: Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh lavender and a lemon slice for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing floral and citrus flavors!
