Ingredients

  • 4 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 ounce lavender simple syrup cooled
  • 4 ounces cold water or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 lemon wheel for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds for garnish

Instructions

  • If making the syrup fresh, simmer 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat, strain out the buds, and let the syrup cool completely, about 2 hours in the fridge.
  • Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour in the lemon juice and the cooled lavender syrup and stir until combined.
  • Top with cold water or sparkling water.
  • Garnish with a lemon wheel and a small scatter of dried lavender buds on top.

Good to Know

The syrup keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for about two weeks, so make a double batch once and pour this in under two minutes all month.
