Lavender Lemonade Recipe Ingredients

12-16 ounces fresh water

juice of 1 lemon

stevia to taste (powder or liquid, add slowly and taste as you go, as stevia is super sweet!)

2-4 lavender sprigs (if you want to get fancy, you can freeze them into ice cubes ahead of time!)


Directions

In a large glass, stir the water and lemon juice together, then add the stevia to taste.

Let it steep for a few minutes before drinking to let the lavender infuse the lemonade.

If you have frozen lavender ice cubes, you can add a few of those and enjoy!
