Ingredients & Substitutions
When picking lavender, always go for culinary-grade to ensure it’s safe for consumption. If you can't find dried lavender, you could try using lavender extract, but start with just a teaspoon since it's more concentrated. For a twist, consider using maple syrup instead of agave for a richer flavor.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my lavender lemonade in a glass pitcher in the fridge; it stays fresh for a few days.
- •For a fun twist, try adding a splash of sparkling water just before serving!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll infuse the lemonade with a few sprigs of fresh mint for a refreshing twist.
- •You could also try adding a splash of blueberry puree for a fruity version!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just remember to give it a good stir before pouring, as the ingredients might settle.
