1

Gather Your Ingredients and Equipment

To make lavender infused lemonade, you'll need the following items: fresh lemons, culinary lavender (dried or fresh), sugar, water, ice cubes, a pitcher, and a strainer. Make sure you have enough of each ingredient to serve your desired number of guests.

2

Prepare the Lavender Infusion

Pour one cup of water into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of culinary lavender. Let it steep for about 10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the lavender flavor will be. Strain the infusion to remove the lavender buds and set it aside to cool.

3

Squeeze and Strain the Lemon Juice

Roll the lemons on the countertop to make them easier to juice. Cut them in half and use a juicer or your hands to squeeze out the lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp. You'll need about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.

4

Mix the Lavender Infusion and Lemon Juice

In a large pitcher, combine the lavender infusion, fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste the mixture and add more sugar if desired. Adjust the sweetness to your personal preference.

5

Add Water and Chill

Pour 4 cups of cold water into the pitcher and mix well. If you prefer a weaker lemonade, you can add more water. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6

Serve and Garnish

Once chilled, give the lavender infused lemonade a good stir. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh lavender or a lemon slice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
