How to Make Lavender Lemonade - Make this simple and refreshing lemonade recipe that is infused with lavender for a special summer treat.

Lavender Lemonade is the perfect refreshment for a tea party for you and your little girl, a garden party, church social, picnic, BBQ, baby shower, 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 own garden or pick up a jar of dried lavender (I found mine at Target in the spice section) to make this concoction.

How to Make Lavender Lemonade

Ingredients:

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

3. Pour syrup through a strainer to remove 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.

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.
