Lavender is known for its relaxing effect so this wonderful refreshing Lavender Lemonade is one of the best ways to use lavender and enjoy it on a hot summer day. The subtle lavender flavor combined with the tangy lemons creates a sophisticated drink, perfect for special occasions. For a twist, try using sparkling water or add a splash of vodka to create a delightful summer cocktail.
To prepare this refreshing lavender lemonade, start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiled, remove the water from heat and add lavender and sugar. Cover the mixture and let it infuse for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
After 30 minutes, strain the lavender-infused water and pour it into a serving carafe. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water to the carafe. Give it a good stir to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness and tartness according to your preference by adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed.
Once you’ve achieved the desired balance of flavors, garnish the lavender lemonade with lemon slices for an extra burst of citrus aroma and visual appeal. Serve the lemonade chilled over ice cubes for a refreshing and delightful beverage perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this fragrant and flavorful lavender lemonade!

This lemonade sounds amazing! I have a lavender plant in my yard and hadn’t thought to use it in a recipe. Brilliant!
I love the scent of lavender! And it’s so beautiful added to lemonade! I’m still waiting for my plant to blossom (tapping me toes here impatiently!).
Lavender lemonade? This sounds absolutely fantastic and oh so refreshing. I like a touch of lavender in shortbread, so I’d love this.
Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment on my blog.
This looks a great idea. Now I have to go and get some Lavender and try this receipe. Thank you for sharing this idea with us.
Let me know if you like it:) it is quite an interesting combination
Looks delicious.
Try this recipe for lemonade sirup. Juste 250 g of pure lemon juice and 250 g sugar. Put in a jar in the fridge and wait 2 or 3 days. Time to time just shake to melt the sugar. And just like that you have your sirup ready. Keep it in the fridge.
When you want to do lemonade just mix some of the sirup and cold water. Anytime it just took you 10 seconds to make naturel fresh lemonade. You can do the same permenganate sirup too.
Good tips Jija, thank you for sharing 🙂
