Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon dried lavender
  • 3/4 cup fresh basil (roughly chopped + more for garnish)
  • 1/3-1 /2 cup honey OR coconut and or granulated sugar*
  • 5 cups water (divided)

  4. Chill the lemonade thoroughly in the refrigerator.
  5. To serve, fill glasses with crushed ice.
  6. Pour the chilled lemonade over the ice and garnish with fresh basil and a few lavender buds. Enjoy!

Notes

- Adjust honey and lemon juice to your personal taste preference.
- For a stronger floral note, add a few extra dried lavender buds to the steeping water.
