Lavender Honey Lemonade

A floral, refreshing lemonade sweetened entirely with lavender-infused honey syrup. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon and a beautiful way to showcase the magic that happens when bees visit lavender fields.

Method

1. 1

   Make the lavender honey syrup

   Combine honey, water, and dried lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until honey dissolves, then bring just to a simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.

   💡 Don't boil — high heat degrades honey's delicate floral compounds.

2. 2

   Strain and cool

   Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove lavender buds. Allow to cool completely.

   💡 Syrup keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
3. 3

   Mix the lemonade

   In a large pitcher, combine fresh lemon juice and cold water. Add honey lavender syrup to taste, starting with half and adjusting from there.

4. 4

   Serve

   Pour over ice and garnish with a lemon slice and a fresh lavender sprig. Serve immediately.
