Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and lavender and place over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and lower the heat a bit. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes at which time the sugar should have completely dissolved and the syrup started to thicken. Let cool for 5 minutes and then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender. Place in the fridge to cool.

In a large pitcher, stir together the cooled lavender simple syrup, 6 cups of water and the lemon juice. Mix until fully combined and then garnish with fresh lavender and lemon slices.

As desired, mix 1-2 drops of purple food coloring into each glass of lemonade to give it the classic lavender color.

Store leftovers in the fridge and ENJOY!

Notes

The food coloring is optional but gives it that fun purple color. I mixed in just one drop of neon purple gel food coloring to each individual glass.

Try a fun spiked version by mixing in your desired amount of vodka, gin, etc.

Storage Instructions: store leftover lavender lemonade in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving, as ingredients may settle. The syrup can also be stored separately for up to 1 week.
