Ingredients
  

Blueberry Lavender Syrup

  • ¾ cup water
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lavender buds (culinary grade)
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Lemonade

  • 5 cups cold drinking water
  • 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed, from about 3 large lemons or 5 medium lemons)

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, add the water, sugar, lavender buds and blueberries.
    Bring to a simmer on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until all the sugar is dissolved and the blueberries have broken down and the water turns dark purple (after about 8 to 10 minutes).
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to steep and cool to room temperature, for about 1 hour.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth to remove the lavender buds and blueberry skins.
  • In a large pitcher, combine 5 cups of cold drinking water, lemon juice, and the cooled blueberry lavender syrup. Stir with a large spoon.
  • Pour into glasses over ice, or store in the fridge to chill it. Enjoy!!

Notes

  • Use a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to strain the blueberry lavender syrup. If you use a strainer with too big of holes, the lavender buds will just go straight through and back into your drink.
  • If you don't want lemon pulp in your lemonade, strain the lemon juice.
  • For a milder, light lemonade, add an additional cup of water.
  • For a stronger lemonade, add one less cup of water.
  • For more tart lemonade, add more lemon juice and add some lemon zest.
  • For sweeter lemonade, increase the syrup ingredients to one cup water and one cup suga
