INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar or 6 teaspoons Stevia
1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey if you're not vegan)
3 tbsp dried lavender
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups water
1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
Over medium heat, combine two cups of water and sugar, bringing to a boil until sugar is dissolved. If you have a water cooler/heater, even better! Just use the hot water. Remove from heat and stir in agave nectar and dried lavender. You can put the lavender in a tea steeper or small strainer. Cover for about 15 minutes, allowing mixture to steep. Strain lavender, making sure to release all juices and syrup.
In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, lavender mixture and water. I love the idea of adding a drop of blue and red food coloring to impart a lovely purple color. Chill for at least 2 hours and serve over ice. Add lemon slices for garnish. Purple party straws add the finishing touch!
