Lavender Honey Lemonade

Ingredients

2 cups Filtered Water
1 cup Honey (I used local orange blossom honey)*
2 tsp Dried Culinary Lavender Flowers**
1 cup fresh Lemon Juice (about 4 large lemons)
2 cups Cold Filtered Water (or more to taste)
Ice

Instructions

Heat 2 cups water and 1 cup honey over medium heat until liquid begins to lightly simmer. (5-10 minutes)

Add lavender and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and set aside to steep for 20 minutes.

Pour liquid through mesh strainer and discard lavender.

Chill liquid in refrigerator. (about an hour)

In a pitcher combine the lavender honey liquid, 1 cup lemon juice and 2 cups cold filtered water.***

Serve over ice.

Garnish with lemon wedges and lavender sprigs. (optional)

Notes

*The color of the lemonade will be determined by how dark your honey is. Sugar will produce a light colored lemonade.

**Culinary lavender is not chemically treated.

***For a milder tasting lemonade add more water.
