Lavender Lemonade


I treated myself to a batch of lavender lemonade this weekend to celebrate the endings of summer and to kick off the beginnings of my favourite season: Autumn!

Here's how to make your own:

Juice 3 lemons. Boil 1/2 cup of lavender flowers {I used some form my mom's garden} in 5 cups of water for 4 minutes. Strain lavender liquid. Add 3 cups of cold water to lavender liquid and combine with lemon juice. Add 1/2 cup of simple syrup to mixture and serve cold.

Tip: This lemonade also makes excellent popsicles!

Enjoy!
