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.

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