Lavender Lemonade

Beautiful and calming lavender lemonade. My favorite beverage of summer. Not only does it taste wonderful, but it had natural health benefits too:

Lavender

• Reduces anxiety and stress;

• Cures insomnia, and

• Reduces depression.

Lemon

• Increases your energy;

• Boosts your immune system;

• Fights viral infections;

• Aids in digestion, and

• Flushes toxins out of your body.

Cheers to Spring! This Purple Lemonade is such an essential part of my families warm days!

Ingredients

6 Cups of Water Divided in half

1 cup of Honey

4 TBSP of dried lavender

2 Cups of Lemon Juice

Lemon Slices for Garnish

Directions:

Over medium heat, combine two cups of water and honey, bringing to a boil until the honey is dissolved. Turn off of the heat and stir in the lavender.

Allow mixture to steep in the pot for 2 hours. Strain the liquid, pressing the lavender down to make sure you get all of the essence from the flower into the mixture!

In a large pitcher, the rest of the water, combine the lemon juice, lavender mixture and water. Enjoy!

Add fresh lemon Slices upon serving to the side of the glass.
