Summertime Lavender Lemonade is the perfect blend of refreshing citrus and fragrant floral notes, making it a unique twist on the classic. This vibrant drink is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a beautiful way to cool off during those long sunny days.
With its delicate lavender infusion and tangy lemonade base, it’s a standout beverage that’s both soothing and revitalizing.
Helpful Tips
- Use culinary lavender to ensure you’re using a safe variety that adds a subtle, aromatic flavor without being overpowering.
- Make a lavender syrup ahead of time by steeping the lavender in water and sugar, so it’s easy to mix into your lemonade when you’re ready to serve. If you don’t want to make syrup try this store-bought syrup.
- Adjust the sweetness by tasting and adding more sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink, or opt for honey for a natural, floral sweetness.
