Found this wonderful recipe (and pretty photo!) for lavender lemonade over at Sunday Suppers and had to share. How lovely would this be to serve in the summertime at a garden party? *sigh* I am so ready for the warmer weather!
"Mr. Winter, it is over between you and me...I'm with Spring now so you best be on your way".
Lavender Lemonade
2 cups sugar
5 sprigs lavender (stems and buds), plus additional for garnish
2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 10 lemons)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
In a large saucepan, bring one gallon of water and the sugar to a boil. Remove from heat; add 7 lavender sprigs and lemon and lime juices. Cool to room temperature, strain, and chill. Serve on ice, with additional lavender for garnish.
I always do a big garden party in the late Spring. I am going to serve this for sure. I have bookmarked this page so when our weather gets warm I can use it. Oh I am looking forward to sunny days and pretty drinks.
