Items needed to answer the question, How do I infuse lavender into homemade lemonade. Items include: Lavender Lemonade

Lavender 2 tablespoons of culinary lavender
Lemonade 6 cups of fresh lemonade

Take note
Make sure you're using culinary lavender, not just any old lavender you found in your backyard. Also, be cautious with the quantity of lavender you use, as a little goes a long way in infusing its flavor.

1

Prepare the Lavender Infusion

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of culinary lavender. Bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the lavender to release its delightful aroma and flavor. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 5 minutes.

2

Strain the Lavender

Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the lavender-infused water into a bowl or jar, separating the liquid from the lavender buds. This will give you the essence you need to infuse your lemonade.

3

Mix the Lemonade

In a pitcher, combine 6 cups of fresh lemonade (homemade or store-bought) and the lavender infusion. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

4

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the lavender-infused lemonade for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve over ice and garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender or a lemon slice to add an extra touch of elegance.
