Equipment

• Small saucepan
• strainer
• Pitcher

Ingredients

• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon dried lavender (found in the spice aisle)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen works too, just simmer for a minute or two longer)
• 1 cup lemon juice (fresh or bottled, but fresh will make this taste much better)
• 5 cups cold water
• fresh blueberries for garnish
• lemon slices for garnish

How to Make Blueberry Lavender Lemonade

Step One: Make The Syrup. Over medium heat, combine 1 cup of water, blueberries, lavender, and 3/4 cup of sugar, bringing to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Simmer until blueberries have broken down, about 3-4 minutes.

Step Two: Steep. Allow mixture to steep for 1-2 hours (less if you want less of a lavender taste).

Step Three: Strain And Mix. Strain the blueberry mixture through a cheesecloth or strainer into a large pitcher. Add 1 cup lemon juice and 5 cups water. Place in the refrigerator until chilled.

Step Four: Garnish And Serve. Serve over ice, with lemon slices, and fresh blueberries.

Serving and Storing

If you plan to drink your lemonade within a day or two, store it in the fridge. Just be sure to seal it tightly in a pitcher or jar.

For longer storage, freeze your lemonade in ice cube trays and then transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag. You can add them to glasses of water or seltzer for a quick and easy drink.

Lemonade stored in the fridge will last 2-3 days.

Frozen lemonade cubes will last for 2-3 months.
