Ingredients
Lavender Simple Syrup
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
Lemonade Base
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice from about 4-5 lemons

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a small saucepan, combine 0.5 cup granulated sugar and 0.5 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender. Let steep for 15-20 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove lavender buds. Let cool completely.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender simple syrup, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk. Stir well until thoroughly combined.
- Pour in 3 cups of cold water or sparkling water (for a fizzy version). Stir gently.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if desired. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs.
Notes
This lemonade is best enjoyed fresh. You can adjust the amount of lavender syrup to your preferred sweetness. For an adult version, a splash of gin or vodka can be added.
