Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
- 3/4 cup fresh basil (roughly chopped + more for garnish)
- 1/3 -1/2 cup honey OR coconut and or granulated sugar*
- 5 cups water (divided)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ice (for serving)
Steps
-
In a small sauce pan bring the lavender and 2 cups water to a boil. If you are using coconut or granulated sugar, add the sugar to the water as well. Once the water is boiling remove from the heat and add the basil, cover and steep for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile squeeze the lemon juice into a tall glass pitcher. Stir in the honey (unless you already added sugar earlier). Stir in 3 cups water. Once the basil has steeped, strain the mixture into the pitcher with the lemon juice. Stir well and then taste. If the lemonade tastes sweet, add water, if it tastes too tart, add honey, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the lemonade is just right for you. I found that 1/3 cup honey works great. Place in the fridge until well chilled.
-
To serve, pour the lemonade over a glass of crushed ice. Garnish with lavender and basil. Drink up!
