LAVENDER LEMONADE COOLER RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making the Lavender Lemonade Recipe, we will first make the Lavender Syrup. For that bring water to a boil over high heat in a saucepan. Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the sugar and lavender. Stir the syrup occasionally while it is simmering.
• Once the sugar is dissolved completely and lavender is infused in the water, turn off the heat. Strain the syrup using a sieve and allow the Lavender Syrup to cool completely. You can also store the Lavender Syrup in the refrigerator and use it as and when required.
• To prepare the Lavender Lemonade Cooler, in a large jug, combine the juice of 3 lemons, water and half of the reserved lavender syrup or to taste. Stir to combine.
• Season the Lemonade with salt and sugar to taste. You can keep the lemonade in the fridge to chill before serving.
• To serve the Lavender Lemonade, add ice cubes in each of the serving glasses. Pour lemonade over the ice cubes and serve chilled for the summers.
