The beginning of summer makes me thirsty.

Well, more like the hot weather in the South drives me to drinking…

at least to always have a cold beverage within arm’s length.

I’ve admitted it before that I’m a drinker. I LOVE drinks. Not necessarily the spiked kind, but definitely most everything else.

And so when summer rolls around I’ve got to have a cold glass of lemonade. (Or sweet tea, or iced coffee, or a strawberry and banana smoothie… whatever floats my boat at the moment.)

10 Ways to Customize Your Home on a Budget Guide Button

Last summer I was testing out a new combination and love, love, loved the addition of lavender to my regular ol’ lemonade. And I’ll share my secret to making this the easy way!

Perfect for quenching your thirst in summer! Try making this lavender lemonade with fresh-sqeezed lemon and lavender essential oil! | TheTurquoiseHome.com

Lavender Lemonade Ingredients:
1. 1 cup of sugar
2. 2.5 cups of water
3. 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (I used 9 medium lemons)
4. 2-3 drops of Lavender essential oil (quality matters, so I would only recommend using therapeutic-grade essential oils that are safe for ingestion. I personally only use Young Living.)
5. 3-4 more cups of water
6. (optional: 1/4 cups of lavender buds to replace the lavender essential oil.)

Instructions:
1. Heat the sugar and 2.5 cups of water over low-medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
2. Remove syrup from heat and let cool for about 15-20 minutes, then add the lavender essential oil to taste. I used 3 drops, but if you want a more subtle taste, try 2 drops. You can always add more, but can’t take it out. 🙂
3. Pour into a large jug and top with lemon juice and the remaining water. I use 4 more cups of water, but add to your personal taste.
4. Chill until ready to drink
5. Optional: If you want to use lavender buds, you can use them in place of the essential oils. Just add 1/4 cup of lavender buds to the water/sugar mixture in step 2. Let it steep for 1 hour, then strain out the buds and finish with steps 3 and 4.

Yields ~2 quarts.

Enjoy!!
