This weekend we were searching for a creative soft drink to quench our thirst when we came across this gorgeous treat! It's home made, sugary sweet and looks incredible. The lilac lavender gives it a lovely vintage twist that we just love! This batch is even served with our favourite straws. What's not to love? We'll be drinking this all summer long.
Ingredients
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey)
3 Tbsp dried lavender
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups water
1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
Over medium heat, combine two cups of water and sugar, bringing to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in agave nectar and dried lavender. Cover for about 15 minutes, allowing mixture to steep. Strain lavender, making sure to release all juices and syrup.
In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, lavender mixture and water. Feel free to add a drop of blue coloring and a drop of red to mixture to give it a lovely purple colour. Chill for at least 2 hours and serve over ice. Enjoy!
