Lavender Lemonade Splash - Vegan recipe hero image

I still remember the first time I sipped lavender lemonade at a little café while visiting a friend in California.

It was a warm day, and the drink felt like a gentle hug.

I love this recipe because it captures that same essence and brings a little bit of sunshine into my kitchen.

Plus, it’s a delightful way to infuse some calming vibes into my day, especially during hectic times.

Ingredients & Substitutions

When picking lavender, always go for culinary-grade to ensure it’s safe for consumption. If you can't find dried lavender, you could try using lavender extract, but start with just a teaspoon since it's more concentrated. For a twist, consider using maple syrup instead of agave for a richer flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep my lavender lemonade in a glass pitcher in the fridge; it stays fresh for a few days.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a splash of sparkling water just before serving!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll infuse the lemonade with a few sprigs of fresh mint for a refreshing twist.
  • You could also try adding a splash of blueberry puree for a fruity version!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just remember to give it a good stir before pouring, as the ingredients might settle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh lavender instead of dried?

Yes! If you have fresh lavender, use about 3 tablespoons. Just make sure to rinse it well to remove any dirt.
