Lavender Lemonade is the perfect refreshment for a garden party, a church social, a picnic, a BBQ, a baby shower, a bridal shower, or any old hot summer day simply sitting on your porch.  Sweet, tart, and lightly floral this easy-to-make drink makes any afternoon a special occasion.  Use lavender harvested from your garden or pick up a jar of culinary-grade dried lavender to make this concoction.

How to Make Lavender Lemonade

As with traditional lemonade, you will start by making a simple syrup. Once you have your simple syrup, you will infuse the syrup with the dried lavender while the syrup cools. Then you will strain the lavender from the syrup and add lemon juice and more water. Infusing the simple syrup takes a little extra time, but it is worth it!

Homemade Lavender Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup lemon juice (about 6-ish large lemons)
  • 5 cups water divided in half
  • 3 tablesoons dried lavender
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Homemade Lavender Lemonade ingredients

Directions:

1. Make a simple syrup by placing 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 1/2 cups of water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring or whisking it frequently. Boil until the sugar is dissolved.

2. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the dried lavender, cover, and let it infuse while it cools completely.

3. Pour the syrup through a strainer to remove the flowers. It is going to be an ugly, dirty color, and you will wonder what in the world you did wrong but have no fear in just a minute you will see the magic.

4. Stir the syrup into the remaining 2 1/2 cups of water, and add the lemon juice. As yu stir the lemon juice into the mixture, your lemonade will turn a pale lavender color.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
