4. Squeeze fresh lemons and pour the juice into a large pitcher.

5. Add lemon zest and the strained lavender honey syrup.

6. Pour in cold water and stir everything together until well combined.

7. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as needed.

8. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the ice, garnish and serve immediately.

Notes

Use dried culinary lavender only — decorative lavender may contain pesticides or chemicals.

Do not steep the lavender for longer than 10 minutes or the syrup turns bitter and soapy.

Fresh lemon juice is essential here — bottled juice completely kills the delicate floral flavor.

This lemonade looks stunning with a light purple color — add one drop of purple food coloring for extra visual impact.

Store the lavender honey base in the fridge for up to one week and mix fresh batches as needed.
