Lavender Lemonade

[Guest guest]

I thought with all the talk of Lavender today, you would enjoy having this

recipe to use it with. Interesting twist on this favorite beverage.

Lavender Lemonade

1 tray ice cubes

1/4 cup dried lavender

2 cups boiling water

3/4 cup white sugar

8 lemons

5 cups cold water, or as needed

 

Place ice cubes into a 2 quart pitcher. Place the lavender into a bowl, and

pour boiling water over it. Allow to steep for about 10 minutes, then strain

out the lavender and discard. Mix the sugar into the hot lavender water,

then pour into the pitcher with the ice.

 

Squeeze the juice from the lemons into the pitcher, getting as much juice as

you can. Top off the pitcher with cold water, and stir. Taste, and adjust

lemon juice or sugar if desired. Pour into tall glasses, pull up a lawn

chair and a good book, and relax!
