Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

1 cup sugar

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

4 cups water

Ice cubes

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Make the Lavender Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, sugar, and dried lavender. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Once dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the lavender flavor. Remove from heat and let it cool. Strain out the lavender buds using a fine mesh sieve and set the syrup aside.

    Prepare the Blueberries: In a medium-sized bowl, mash the fresh blueberries with a fork or a potato masher until they are mostly puréed. This can also be done in a blender for a smoother consistency. Set aside.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the blueberry mash, lavender syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir everything together until well mixed.

        Add Water: Slowly pour the remaining 3 cups of water into the pitcher, mixing well to create a balanced flavor profile. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired, adding more sugar or lemon juice if necessary.

          Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the Blueberry Lavender Lemonade for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve over ice in glasses, garnished with fresh blueberries, slices of lemon, and mint leaves if desired.

            Enjoy: Refresh yourself with this fragrant and delicious Blueberry Lavender Lemonade, perfect for warm days or special occasions!
