🧾 Ingredients in This Recipe

Three lemons next to a liquid measuring cup with water and a small jar of purple tinted simple syrup.

Lavender simple syrup - A simple mix of lavender, sugar, and water. I have steps on how to make lavender simple syrup from scratch. As a substitute, use muddled dried lavender and granulated sugar. Simple syrup dissolves much better into the lemonade than granulated sugar.
Lemons – You'll want good-sized fresh lemons to squeeze for the lemonade. Some people like to use a lemonade powder mix, but it won't be as fresh and tart as squeezed lemon juice.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Lavender Lemonade

Two hands squeezing a lemon half over a large liquid measuring cup.

Cut each lemon in half and squeeze out as much juice as possible using a fork or a juicer.

Pouring water into a glass pitcher from a liquid measuring cup on a countertop.

Next, fill your jug or pitcher with the cold water.

Finally, pour in the lavender simple syrup and mix to combine. Add ice to top it off.

💟 More Lavender Flavor 💟

You can increase the lavender flavor without adding more sweetener by muddling lavender or full lavender flowers in the pitcher or glass. You don't want to add loose lavender flowers unless you don't mind the chunks going up the straw!
