How to make lavender lemonade

In a large saucepan, bring one gallon of water and the 3 cups sugar to a boil.

While the sugar water is boiling, cut and rinse the 7 sprigs of lavender.

Either using a fancy juicer or doing it by hand, combine 2 cups of fresh lemon juice (about 12 lemons) and 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 5 limes) in a separate container.

Like this!

Once the sugar water is boiling, remove from heat. Add lemon/lime juices and lavender sprigs.

Let it all soak and cool down to room temperature (allow at least 20 minutes). Strain, chill, and serve!

Add lavender or lemon/limes to garnish, and enjoy!
