Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup cold water

  3. Remove from heat and let the lavender steep in the syrup for 15 minutes.

  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a small jar, discarding the lavender buds, and let cool to room temperature.

  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

  6. Pour in the fresh lemon juice, cold water, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooled lavender syrup to taste.

  7. Stir well to combine, then garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh lavender or mint before serving.
