Ingredients
4 lemons (juiced)
1/2 cup dried lavender
1/2 cup raw honey
4 cups water
Directions
- Prepare the lavender syrup: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a simmer. Add the dried lavender and let it steep for about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove the lavender flowers and set the lavender-infused water aside.
- Sweeten the syrup: While the lavender water is still warm, stir in the raw honey until fully dissolved.
- Juice the lemons: In a large pitcher, combine the juice of 4 lemons with the remaining 2 cups of water.
- Mix the lemonade: Pour the lavender-honey syrup into the lemon juice mixture and stir well to combine.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the lavender lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve over ice, and garnish with lemon slices or fresh lavender sprigs if desired.
