Notes

Loose Lavender Tea: you will need loose lavender tea to prepare this drink.
A little lavender goes a long way. Don't add too much or the flavoring will be overpowering.
For a more tart and tangy lemonade add more lemon juice.
If you find the flavor of the lemonade to be too strong you can dilute it will cold water. Try 1/2 cup of cold water at a time and continue to add until the perfect flavor is reached.
To make a beautiful purple-colored lemonade use lavender syrup and sugar as a sweetener instead of honey.
Make lavender lemonade popsicles. Pour the lemonade mixture into popsicle molds and freezer for a delicious icy treat.

Garnish Ideas

Fresh Lavender Sprigs: you can place an edible lavender sprig in each glass or top it off with some of the loose lavender tea.
Lemon: add some lemon slices to a glass pitcher for a beautiful presentation.
