🥫 Storage instructions

If you’re planning to drink your lemonade within a day or two, you can 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.

🔍 FAQs

What type of lavender is best for lavender lemonade?

Dried lavender flowers work great, but you can also use a few drops of lavender oil (if it’s food-safe), or even fresh lavender sprigs.

Do I have to use fresh blueberries?

No, you can use frozen blueberries. Just simmer for a minute or two longer.

How can I make this recipe sugar-free?

You can substitute the sugar for a sugar-free alternative, like stevia. You may need to add more or less, depending on your preference.

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert tips

  • You must strain the syrup! The little bits of lavender and blueberry skins will not be appetizing.
  • If you want a stronger lemon flavor, feel free to add more lemon juice or zest.
  • For a beautiful presentation, garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a few blueberries.
  • If you want to make this recipe alcoholic, add some lemon vodka. It’s delicious!
