Lavender Lemonade for Summer

💜 Sip Something Stunning:

There’s something a little magical about lavender in a drink—fragrant, floral, and just the right amount of fancy. This Lavender Lemonade is summer in a glass: soothing, refreshing, and almost too pretty to drink (almost).

Perfect for sunny porch moments, garden gatherings, or sending your nervous system a love note.

✨ Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)

• ½ cup dried culinary lavender (or ⅓ cup fresh)

• ½ cup honey or agave (adjust to taste)

• 4 cups water (divided)

• Ice + optional lemon slices or lavender sprigs for garnish

  
  

🍋 Simple Steps:

1. Make Lavender Syrup

   In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water and the lavender to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, stir in honey, and steep for 15–20 minutes. Strain and cool.

2. Mix It Up

   In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice, lavender syrup, and remaining 3 cups of cold water. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

3. Serve Over Ice

   Garnish with a lemon wheel or a lavender sprig if you’re feeling whimsical.

   
   

🧘‍♀️ Why It Works:

Lavender has calming properties that pair beautifully with citrusy brightness. It’s a gentle herbal remedy disguised as a beautiful summer drink.
