How to Make a Lavender-Lemonade Stand

Lavender takes plain lemonade to new heights. You will need:

2 cups boiling water

1 cup sugar

1.5 tablespoons dried lavender (or a handful of fresh)

1.5 cups fresh lemon juice (about 10)

2.5 cups cold water

ice

lemons and lavender for garnish

Add lavender and sugar to a heat-proof bowl while you boil water. Add boiling water to bowl and steep for at least 30 minutes (longer for stronger lavender flavor).

Strain the lavender from the syrup and discard the lavender.

Cut, seed and juice enough lemons to yield 1.5 cups of fresh juice.
