Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender
- 6 medium Lemons
- 0.5 cup Fresh or bottled cranberry juice
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 2 Fresh lavender sprigs (optional, for garnish)
- 6 Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the dried culinary lavender to the syrup. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the lavender steep for 5 minutes to infuse the syrup with a floral aroma.
Strain the lavender syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the lavender buds. Allow to cool slightly.
Roll the lemons on a countertop with your palm to make them easier to juice. Juice the lemons and strain to remove pulp and seeds. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Add the lemon juice, cranberry juice, and the remaining 3 cups of water into the pitcher with the lavender syrup. Stir well to combine.
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or water as needed.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or serve immediately by pouring it over ice cubes in individual glasses.
For garnish, add lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs to each glass if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy your Pink Lavender Lemonade!
