Ingredients & Substitutions
The dried culinary lavender is key here; it adds a lovely floral note that pairs beautifully with the tart lemon. If you can’t find dried lavender, you could use a lavender tea bag, just be sure it’s caffeine-free! Also, I love using full-fat coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture, but you can use light coconut milk if you prefer it a bit lighter.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my lavender lemonade in a glass pitcher in the fridge; it stays fresh and looks pretty too!

Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed chilled, and I recommend giving it a stir before you pour yourself another glass.
