• Juice of 3 Lemons

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4-6 servings

Instructions:

1. Make the Lavender Syrup:
   In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of lavender flowers. Stir occasionally as the syrup simmers, ensuring the sugar fully dissolves and the lavender infuses into the water. Once the syrup has thickened slightly, remove from heat. Strain the syrup through a sieve to remove the lavender flowers and let it cool completely. You can store the syrup in the refrigerator for later use.

2. Prepare the Lavender Lemonade:
   In a large jug, combine the juice of 3 lemons, 3-4 cups of water, and half of the prepared lavender syrup (or adjust to your taste). Stir well to combine. Add salt and sugar to taste, ensuring the perfect balance of flavors. For a chilled drink, place the lemonade in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

3. Serve:
   To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lavender lemonade over the ice. Serve immediately for a refreshing summer treat!

This Lavender Lemonade Cooler is the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and floral, making it an ideal drink to cool down on hot summer days.
