Lavender Lemonade is kid friendly, takes about 5 minutes to make and is refreshing on those hot days.

For approximately 8 servings you will need:

  • 6 cup cold water
  • 4-6 lemons (you’ll need 1 cup lemon juice total)
  • 1/2 cup Lavender Simple Syrup
  • ice

Squeeze lemons until you have one cup of lemon juice.

Add the lemon juice to a large pitcher and pour in the cold water while stirring to make sure it’s all incorporated.

Add your lavender syrup (more or less can be added based on your taste preferences) and stir well.

Add ice to chill.

Garnish with lemon slices and enjoy!
