Easy Homemade Lavender Lemonade

Serving lavender lemonade can be as simple as pouring it into a plastic recyclable cup, or you can make it extra fancy. I wanted to share a few of my favorite products that take the drink to the next level when you are entertaining.

• Beverage Pitcher – Any pitcher will do, but I especially love this beverage pitcher! The sleek and elegant design will never go out of style. And you can use it for all sorts of drinks.
• Mason Jar Glasses – There isn’t much that is better than these Mason jar glasses. They have a handle and are super cute.
• Straws – Sipping on a refreshing drink is always more enjoyable when you have a cute straw! I love these pink and yellow straws, but I also can’t resist these adorable umbrella straws.

Ingredients

• 4 cups water, divided
• 1 cup dried lavender flower buds
• 1 cup lemon juice (may also use juice from fresh lemons)
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• Cheesecloth
• 4-cup measuring cup
• Canning funnel

1. Add 2 cups of water and the lavender to a saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.

3. Place a cheesecloth over a 4 cup measuring cup, and place a canning funnel over that. Strain, and discard the lavender.

4. Add lavender-infused water to a pitcher, then add 2 cups of cold water and the lemon juice.

5. Next add the sugar and stir well.
