Ingredients

6 servings

1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers
1 cup granulated sugar
5 cups water (divided)
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice ((5 to 8 lemons, depending on size))
Additional lemon slices (optional for garnish)
Fresh lavender sprigs (optional for garnish)

Steps

Place the lavender and sugar in a small saucepan. Off the heat, rub them together with your fingers for a minute or so, until the lavender smells very fragrant.
Add 1 cup of water to the sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to dissolve sugar.
Remove the pan from the heat cover, and allow it to steep for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Strain the syrup into a serving pitcher.
To the pitcher, add the fresh lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir together, then chill until nice and cold. Serve over ice, garnished with additional lemon slices or fresh lavender springs.
