Mistakes to avoid

Using bottled lemon juice: the taste is flat. Squeeze fresh lemons for a lively lemonade.
Serving right away: the flavors don't have time to blend. Let it rest at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Adding too much lavender syrup: the lemonade becomes too sweet and perfumed. Taste before adding more.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make homemade lavender syrup?

Can I serve this lemonade with sparkling water?

Choose culinary lavender, sold dried at specialty grocery stores or health food stores, and untreated. Avoid decorative lavender, which may contain products not suited for food and often has an overly camphorous taste.
