Ingredients

½ cup granulated sugar
4 cups water, divided
2 tablespoons dried lavender, plus more for garnish
2 cups fresh lemon juice (from 12 large lemons)
¼ teaspoon salt
Ice for serving

Directions

Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lavender. Let stand until the flavors meld and the mixture cools, about 30 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve; discard the lavender.
Transfer the lavender syrup to a large pitcher. Add lemon juice, salt and the remaining 3 cups water; stir well to combine.
Divide the lemonade among 8 ice-filled glasses. Garnish with additional lavender, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
