Serves 4
Ingredients:
6 cups water divided
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
3 Tbsp dried lavender
2 cups lemon juice
Lemon slices and lavender petals for garnish
Blue or purple food coloring (optional)
Directions:
Over medium heat, combine two cups of water and the sugar, bringing to a boil until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off of the heat and stir in the honey and lavender.
Allow the mixture to steep for 2 hours (less if you want a more subtle lavender taste). Strain the liquid, pressing the lavender down to make sure you get all of those juices into your mixture!
In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, the lavender mixture and water.
Feel free to add a couple drops of blue or purple food coloring if you want more color than the lavender provides. Serve over ice and enjoy!
