Instructions
Make the Lavender Syrup
Combine the sugar, water, and dried culinary lavender buds in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil rapidly.
Steep and Strain
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the lavender to steep in the syrup for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a heat-safe container and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
Juice the Lemons
While the syrup cools, juice enough fresh lemons to yield 1.5 cups of juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and excess pulp. Fresh lemon juice makes a significant difference in flavor.
Combine and Mix
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and cold water. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust by adding more lemon juice for tartness or more water to dilute.
Serve
Fill tall glasses with ice and pour the lavender lemonade over the ice. Garnish each glass with a fresh lavender sprig and a lemon slice. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
