Instructions
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
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.
- Step 3
As desired, mix 1-2 drops of purple food coloring into each glass of lemonade to give it the classic lavender color.
- Step 4
Store leftovers in the fridge and ENJOY!
Notes
- Step 5
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.
- Step 6
Try a fun spiked version by mixing in your desired amount of vodka, gin, etc.
- Step 7
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.
