Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Lemon juice: For the best lemonade, freshly squeezed lemons are best instead of store-bought lemon juice.
- Lavender simple syrup: Adds a sweet floral note. I used food grade lavender flowers found at my local grocery store mixed with white sugar and water heated in a saucepan.
- Water: To dilute the lemon juice.
How to Make This Recipe
Bring lavender flowers, sugar, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce to a simmer.
Let simmer partially covered for 10-15 minutes. Strain. Let cool.
Mix lavender simple syrup, lemon juice, and water in a high speed blender or Nutribullet.
Tips
- Use fresh lemons; not store-bought lemon juice or concentrated lemon juice.
- Buy more lemons than you think you'll need. For this recipe you'll need about 2 ½ to 3 lemons.
- To get the most juice out of lemons, roll them back and forth on your cutting board applying pressure. You can also try heating them in the microwave for 10 seconds.
- Start with less lavender simple syrup to see how you like it.
- Let the lemonade sit in the fridge before serving so the flavors can meld together.
- Freeze some of the Lavender Lemonade in ice cube trays so that your lemonade isn't diluted. The lemonade won't freeze as hard as plain water because of the sugar, but it'll freeze hard enough to use as ice cubes.
