Summer can be a bit overwhelming! When it’s time to unwind and relax, have you ever felt so worked up you just can’t? Well, Lavender is the perfect herb to have on hand and what a better way to celebrate summer than by serving up some cool lemonade. Combine the two and you’ve got a sublime summer treat that’s sure to please and relax everyone! 

To make you’ll need:

1/4 cup dried Lavender
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup honey
4 lemons
Cold water

Place the Lavender blossoms in the quart jar and cover with boiling water. Let steep for 10 minutes then strain.

Carefully using the sharp knife, cut the lemons in half. You may need a big person’s help with this step.

Use the juicer to squeeze out the juice from the lemon. If you don’t have a juicer, you can squeeze them by hand into the pitcher or half gallon jar.

Add the honey and lavender tea to the lemon juice and stir to mix. Fill the jar or pitcher with cold water and stir again.

Add ice cubes.

Best sipped in the shade while relaxing the afternoon away in a hammock or on a porch swing!

Let summer relaxation begin.
