How to Make Lavender Lemonade
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 cups of water.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1/4 cup of dried culinary lavender buds, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the lavender steep for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor. The longer it steeps, the more pronounced the lavender flavor will be.
- Strain the lavender syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heatproof pitcher, discarding the lavender buds.
- Add 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and 2 cups of cold water to the lavender syrup.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
- Serve over ice in glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh lavender sprig, if desired.
