Here's the recipe for the Lavender Lemonade we served at last night's Floral Art Design Class. It's a lot of lemon squeezing, but well worth the effort! We're sure you'll love it!
Ingredients:
1 tray ice cubes
1/2 cup dried lavender
(we recommend lavender tea from www.winghopfung.com)
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup of white cane sugar
8 lemons
5 cups cold water (or as needed)
Directions:
1. Place ice cubes and cold water in a 2 quart pitcher.
2. Place lavender tea in saucepan, stir in boiling water and let seep for 15 minutes.
3. While waiting for lavender to seep, squeeze lemon juice into separate bowl.
4. Strain the lavender water into the lemon juice bowl and discard the dried lavender.
5. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and stir in sugar (re-heat mixture on stove if sugar is not dissolved).
6. After cooling, pour the mixture into the pitcher and stir.
Tip: Inhale before sipping to embrace the lavender aroma, similar to tasting a fine wine.
