Instructions
Lavender lemonade
- Put the sugar and the lavender in a bowl and rub with your fingertips the lavender through until your sugar smells like lavender.
- Add 2 cups of water to a saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Add the lavender sugar and stir until it's dissolved.
- Turn off the stove and let it stand for 30 minutes.
- Sieve the lavender syrup and put it into the refrigerator so it can cool further (at least 30 minutes).
- Add the remaining lemon juice and the remaining water with the lavender syrup. Store in the refrigerator until use.
Serving
- Just before serving add slices of lemon, lavender, and the ice cubes to your jar.
NOTES
- If you like bubbles in your lemonade then add sparkling water instead of plain water.
- If you don’t have lavender flowers or you want to vary in lemonade you can also use leaves of violet or roses.
- Use unsprayed (lavender) flowers. Ordinary plants from the garden center can contain toxins. Make sure you only harvest flowers if you’re sure they are not sprayed.
