As we are diving into the fantastic blooming season, we’d love to share with you a wonderful and easy-to-do recipe for Lavender Lemonade.
Ingredients for the lemonade:
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup dried lavender
- 1 cup sugar or a natural sweetener
- 5 cups water
- Ice
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, the sugar, and dried lavender. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it steep for an additional 10 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove the lavender flowers.
- In a large pitcher, combine the lavender syrup with the remaining 3 cups of water and fresh lemon juice. Stir well.
- Serve over ice and enjoy a refreshing lavender lemonade.
Enjoy!
I first came across IVA Plants and Alex their founder at my local monthly Artisan market and decided to try the Sleep Well tea and the Rose Garden Tea. I was very impressed with the lovely aroma and the quality of the ingredients. There is an online shop but I thought I would head down to the market again to stock up. This time I bought dried Chamomile flowers, Rose buds and a Houjicha roasted greentea that she suggested for me as it is lower in caffeine. I would highly recommend all of the purchases I have made.
