Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using culinary lavender because it adds such a unique floral note. If you can’t find it, feel free to leave it out, but I really think it adds a special touch. For the sweetener, agave syrup is my go-to, but you can use maple syrup or even a touch of stevia if you’re looking for something lower in sugar.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to garnish my glasses with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lemon for that extra flair.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of gin for a grown-up version!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to infuse the lavender with a bit of mint for a refreshing twist.
- •You could also add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the pitcher for a fruity upgrade.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best served fresh, but it’ll stay good for a few days. Just remember to give it a little stir before enjoying again!
