Lavender Lemonade

Ingredients:

1/2 - 3/4 cup of sugar, depending on how sweet you like your lemonade

1/4 cup honey

6 cups of water, divided into 2 and 4 cups

3 tablespoons dried edible lavender flowers (also found in some spice aisles)

juice of 12 lemons, about 2 cups

purple gel food coloring

lemon slices for garnish

Note: This makes about 2 quarts of lemonade. Store covered, in the refrigerator for about a week.

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the sugar and honey until dissolved and remove from heat.

2. Add in your lavender flowers and let steep for about 1 hour, like tea.

3. Juice your lemons and set the juice in the fridge to start chilling. Note: This juicer is the fastest, most efficient way to juice your lemons. And it comes in a few cute colors so you can coordinate with your kitchen if you want to.

4. After your hour has passed, strain your lavender water into a bowl or pitcher and discard the lavender flowers.

5. In a large pitcher, add your lemon juice, lavender juice, and the other 4 cups of water. To make it more of the typical lavender color, add a few drops of purple food coloring. I added 4 drops to mine to get this soft purple color.

6. Serve over ice and garnish the glasses with lemon wedges and faux purple flowers if desired.
