This Lavender Lemonade is a refreshing and aromatic beverage that combines the floral notes of dried lavender with the zesty tang of fresh lemon juice. Perfect for a hot day or a calming drink, it balances sweetener and sparkling water for a light and invigorating taste.

Ingredients

Scale

For Lavender Infusion

  • 2 teaspoons dried lavender
  • 2 teaspoons sweetener (such as sugar, honey, or a sugar substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 250 ml boiling water

To Serve

  • 2 cups sparkling water (chilled)

Instructions

  1. Steep the Lavender: Place 2 teaspoons of dried lavender and 2 teaspoons of your chosen sweetener in a heatproof container. Pour 250 ml of boiling water over the mixture, stir gently, and let it steep for about 10 minutes to extract the lavender’s floral aroma and flavor.
  2. Strain the Lavender Mixture: After steeping, strain the lavender-infused water through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lavender buds, ensuring a smooth and clear lemonade base.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice into the strained lavender syrup, mixing well to combine the citrus brightness with the floral infusion.
  4. Mix with Sparkling Water: Fill a jug with 2 cups of chilled sparkling water, then pour the lavender-lemon syrup over it. Stir gently to combine while preserving the bubbles.
  5. Serve: Pour the lavender lemonade into glasses over ice if desired. Garnish with a sprig of lavender or a lemon slice for added visual appeal and aroma.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the sweetener according to taste.
  • For a stronger lavender flavor, increase steeping time up to 15 minutes but avoid bitterness.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best bright, fresh flavor.
  • This recipe can easily be made vegan by choosing a plant-based sweetener.
  • The lemonade is best served chilled and consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
