Lemonade infused with fresh strawberry puree and the light floral flavor of lavender. This strawberry lavender lemonade is the perfect summer beverage.
Ingredients
Lavender Simple Syrup
1 cup water
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lavender buds
Strawberry Lemonade
½ cup water
1 cup chopped strawberries (3-4 large strawberries)
⅓ cup lemon juice
Directions:
In a small pot, add water, granulated sugar, and fresh lavender buds. Heat the small pot until the water comes to a boil. Allow the water to continue boiling for about 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the lavender to sit for a few minutes. Once the simple syrup has cooled, pour it over a strainer into a bowl or the container for the lemonade to remove the lavender buds.
Add the strawberries and a half cup of water into a blender, and blend for several minutes until the strawberries appear smooth.
Pour the strawberries into a container. Add the lemon juice and lavender simple syrup. Stir to mix until evenly incorporated.
Serve the drinks with crushed ice.
