Ingredients
- 1 cup of sugar
- 5 cups of water (divided)
- 1 tablespoon of dried lavender flowers (culinary grade)
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Make the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with the sugar and lavender. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it steep for about 20 minutes.
- Prepare the Lemonade: Strain the lavender mixture, removing the flowers. In a large pitcher, combine the lavender syrup, lemon juice, and remaining 4 cups of water. Adjust sweetness or tartness to your liking.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices and a few lavender sprigs for an enchanting Ostara refreshment.
