Zubereitung von Lavender Limeade
- **Make the Simple Syrup:** In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1 ½ cups superfine sugar, 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds, and the zest of 2 limes.
- **Bring to a Boil:** Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- **Simmer and Steep:** Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for 10 minutes to infuse the lavender flavor.
- **Strain the Syrup:** Strain the simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heat-safe container. Discard the lavender and lime zest.
- **Prepare the Limeade:** In a large pitcher, combine the strained simple syrup, juice of 6 limes (about ¾ cup), and 4 cups of cold water.
- **Chill and Serve:** Stir well to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve over ice, garnished with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh lavender.
