For a stronger lavender flavor, increase the steeping time to 15 minutes. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the lemons. For a sparkling variation, top each glass with a splash of club soda before serving.
Infuse your senses with this delicate Lavender Lemonade. Aromatic lavender meets the bright, tangy zest of lemon for a perfectly balanced, soothing refreshment.
First, gather all the necessary ingredients for your lavender lemonade.
In a heatproof pitcher, gently place the lavender flowers and pour boiling water over them. Cover tightly with plastic wrap to capture the aromatic steam and allow the lavender to steep for 10 minutes. (Time: 10 minutes)
After steeping, carefully strain the lavender-infused water through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the flowers. Discard the spent lavender and return the fragrant water to the pitcher.
Add the chilled water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and granulated sugar to the pitcher. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth and even sweetness throughout the lemonade.
Refrigerate the lavender lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and fully chill. (Time: 30 minutes)
Serve chilled, garnished with a sprig of fresh lavender or a lemon slice for an elegant touch.

Aug 19, 2024I found it a bit too sweet with 1 cup of sugar, so I reduced it to 3/4 cup and it was perfect for my taste.
