Lavender Lemonade
Make a lavender simple syrup- 1 cup sugar,1 cup water, 1/4 lavender flowers.
In sauce pan simmer on stove for about 10 minutes or so let cool then strain.
Its keeps in a jar for about 3 weeks in the fridge.
Take the juice of fresh squeezed lemons (I used about 8 organic)
Then add equal part water to juice.
Then add about 1/2 of your lavender simple syrup.
Lavender is good for :
•Restlessness
•Insomnia
•Abdominal complaints
•Rheumatism
•Loss of appetite
Lemons are a good source of vitamin C
This is a great drink it you have a cold and are trying to get some rest!
You can make endless flavored simple syrups to use with the lemons
example: ginger,violets and pansies.
Happy cooking~

Georgiann,
Looks delicious!! I think I'll have to give it a try sometime soon!! Only not with sugar. :-(
Thanks for sharing!!

I bet you could use Raw honey!?
instead of sugar.
I use organic evaprorated cane sugar from Costco.
Have lavender but my lemons have finished - a few green ones left so hopefully they will ripen for summer and I will try lemon with lavender... thanks for sharing the idea!
