    There is nothing quite like the sweet and floral scent of lavender to ignite the senses and transport you to a place of tranquility and calm.

    The combination of natural honey and delicate lavender creates a syrup that is both rich and delicate, with a flavor that lingers on the palate long after the last sip. This divine syrup with the bright and zesty flavor of lemon? The result was nothing short of heavenly.

    I carefully measured out the ingredients and mixed them together, creating a large pitcher of the most delicious lavender and lemonade I had ever tasted. The sweet and floral notes of the lavender blended perfectly with the tartness of the lemon, creating a flavor profile that was both complex and refreshing. Now, every time I sip on this delightful beverage, I am reminded of the beauty and simplicity of life's little pleasures. Whether I am enjoying a glass on my own or sharing it with friends and family, this lavender and lemonade is the perfect way to escape the chaos of the world and indulge in a moment of pure bliss. I hope you'll enjoy this recipe as much as I do, friend.

Recent research has shown that consuming lavender can help to alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, which unfortunately plague our fast-paced modern world. It's a wonderful plant for anyone seeking a natural and safe way to improve their mental health and wellbeing, and it's a testament to the power of nature in supporting our bodies and minds. Let's enjoy wonders of lavender together.

    How to make the syrup:

    • Water
    • Sugar

    Where to find lavender for lavender lemonade:

    Sourcing dried lavender is simple! Simply buy some food grade lavender. I love this brand when I don't have any in my garden. If you're curious about the best edible flowers you can grow at home, read my post on the best edible flowers to grow in your garden.

    Alternative options:

    If the thought of crafting your own simple syrup is daunting, fret not, my love. You can always purchase it instead. Personally, I adore this particular brand as it lacks the artificial, garish purple coloring that plagues other options. But if you prefer to bypass simple syrup altogether, might I suggest indulging in the delicate flavor of lavender-infused honey? It is divine.

    how to make lavender lemonade:

    Step 1: Squeeze all of your lemons into a pitcher or large jar. Strain out any pulp or seeds.

    Step 2: add in your sugar and lavender simple syrup.

    Step 3: Boil two of your eight cups of water. Add the hot water to your lemon and sugar mixture to allow your sugar to dissolve. Next, add in your remaining water. Test to make sure it's to your desired tartness or sweetness.
