Honey Lavender Lemonade — the perfect porch swinging, backyard bbq, sunny day sipper!
This refreshing lemonade is truly like sunshine in a glass! It’s filled with all great things and is made with just four simple ingredients. And since this recipe is so easy, you’ll want to use top quality ingredients to get the best taste.
For the base, I made a honey lavender simple syrup using Beeyond The Hive Raw Wildflower Honey, organic whole lavender flowers and water. This honey in particular yields a beautiful floral sweetness that, in my opinion, you can’t find in other honey.
For the lemonade, I added the juice of eight lemons, the honey lavender simple syrup and five cups water. That’s it! Eazy peazy, lemon squeezy!!!
Well, I’m off to sip on some delicious lemonade and daydream about my spring and summer plans!
