Description
A relaxing lemonade that tastes like an English garden. Can be made for adults only or kid-friendly, too!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- ½ cups Sugar
- 1-½ Tablespoon Lavender Buds, Dried
- 2 whole Lemons, Juiced
- ½ cups Vodka
- ¾ cups Blueberries
- Ice
Preparation
Note: If you want to make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka. Then it’s kid-friendly!
In a sauce pan over medium high heat, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Turn off heat. Stir in lavender buds and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Strain simple lavender syrup into a bowl to allow to cool and remove the lavender buds.
Into a pitcher, juice lemons, pour in vodka and add in blueberries. Add in desired amount of ice. With a muddler or a large spoon, smash together until blueberries have released their juice and color.
When lavender syrup is cooled, pour over ice and muddled blueberries. Stir and pour into double Old Fashioned glasses with additional ice. Garnish with additional lemon slices.
