Honey Lavender Lemonade

Ingredients

For the lavender mixture

  • 1/4 cup Sue Bee® Honey
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons dried lavender

For the lemonade

  • 2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 sliced lemon, for garnish

Directions

  • To make the simple syrup, combine two cups of water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in honey and dried lavender.
  • Cover for about 15 minutes, allowing mixture to steep. Strain lavender mixture, making sure to release all juices and syrup into a bowl.
  • In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, lavender mixture and water. Feel free to add a drop of blue coloring and a drop of red to give it a light purple color.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours and serve over ice. Enjoy!
