ingredients
directions
1. Squeeze Lemons: Squeeze Lemons to extract the juice. Approximately 12-15 lemons. Strain to remove as much pulp and seeds |
2. ✱ Boil Water and Sugar: Bring to boil the water and sugar mixture. Once the mixture is boiling, add the lemon juice and Lavender Flowers. Remove from heat and let stand COVERED for 1 hour. |
3. Strain Lavender and Chill: After resting strain the lavender from the lemonade and chill |
Notes
 Buy a bag of lemons from the grocery store over buying them individually they may be smaller in size but they tend to be more ripe and ready for juicing.This bag also tends to produce JUST ENOUGH lemon juice for the recipe. |
 To strain lavender out of lemonade use the smallest "screen" strainer you have and just place it inside your vessel, then ladle the mixture into a pitcher. The screen pitcher will keep the lavender away from the ladle and you won't have to try to pour a pot of 1 gallon of hot lemonade. |
 You could garnish with some fresh lavender flowers sprinkled on top (don't use the ones from the steeping as they tend to be brown in color afterwards) |
| If the resulting lemonade is too sugary sweet for your taste, you may water it down with ice cubes, or try reducing the amount of sugar in a future batch. |
