There’s nothing like fresh lemonade in the summer, is there? I love experimenting with different variations and flavors and this lavender mint lemonade recipe is my latest! It’s tart and delicious and so easy to make! Mix up a pitcher and enjoy a summer afternoon outside. The hammock is optional.
To make this lavender mint lemonade, you’ll need
8-12 lemons, depending on the size, plus more for garnishing
1 cup of lavender mint simple syrup {click for the recipe}, and
8 cups cold water.
Using only 1 cup of simple syrup makes this lemonade fairly tart. If you like your lemonade sweeter, add more simple syrup.
Squeeze the lemons into a measuring cup, using as many as it takes to get 2 cups of fresh lemon juice.
Pour the lemon juice into a pitcher, stir in the lavender mint simple syrup, and add the cold water. Stir gently to combine.
Add ice and garnish with lemon slices and a sprig or two of lavender.
Serve in tall glasses or mason jars, add a lemon slice and a couple of paper straws, and sip away! Be sure to refrigerate any leftover lemonade.
This delicious lemonade recipe definitely needs to become a regular recipe for summer. Stock up when lemons are on sale and store the fresh lemon juice in the freezer until you’re ready to make a pitcher of lemonade.
