How to Make Lavender Blue Lemonade
- Gently mash 1 cup of blueberries in a large 4-quart bowl or pitcher using the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add 1 cup of fresh lemon juice (reserving the lemon rinds for later).
- Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar, adjusting to your preferred sweetness.
- In a small saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender buds.
- Bring the water and lavender to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain the lavender-infused water through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl with the blueberry mixture. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the reserved lemon rinds to the lemonade.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, remove and discard the lemon rinds. Strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining blueberry seeds or lavender bits.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprig of lavender (optional).
