Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using culinary lavender for this recipe because it adds such a unique and soothing flavor. If you can’t find it, you can swap it for a few drops of lavender extract, but be careful—it can be pretty potent! Also, feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to suit your taste.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to make a bigger batch and store it in a glass pitcher in the fridge—it stays fresh for a few days!
- •If you want to elevate the drink, try adding a sprig of fresh mint when serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll infuse the lemonade with a bit of fresh ginger for a spicy kick.
- •You can also swap the lemon juice for lime juice for a tangy twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover lavender lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again, as the flavors tend to settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
