Happy Friday!!! It's beginning to feel like summer-yippee!!! The kids are running around the neighborhood with their friends and the windows are open. Signs that the temperatures are warming up and summer is right around the corner. I can't wait! I love having a pitcher of cold lemonade on the counter when the kids run in and need a quick drink. I found this amazing recipe that puts plain ole' lemonade to shame.
It's refreshing and pretty and so yum!!! I think it would be amazing for a mother's day brunch. Turn it into a cocktail as well, with a splash of vodka. Perfect for a girls night!
Lavender Lemonade Recipe
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons dried lavender
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 cups water
1 lemon sliced for the garnish
Combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved and simple syrup is achieved. Remove from heat and stir in the dried lavender. Cover and let sit for about 15 minutes. Strain lavender.
In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice, lavender/simple syrup and water. Chill for 2 hours and serve over ice. And if you want a little party in your summer drink add a bit of vodka.
Enjoy!!!
Doesn't this just look so pretty and summer-y??
Wishing you all the most happiest Mother's Day!
