There is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than an ice-cold lemonade. Scented with lavender, this lemonade takes on a gourmet status. Tart from the fresh lemons, sweet from the sugar, combined with the floral aroma of the lavender, this is one drink you will not want to put down. Make it a spiked lemonade by adding a shot of vodka!
I had an inkling that this drink would be so good that I would not have the will power to stop drinking it. Man I know myself well because I was right! Luckily, I did not have to worry about the extra calories because I used ZERO, an all natural sweetener. Great stuff! For more information visit WholesomeSweeteners.com.

Hi Jackie. I love lavender and lemon together! This lavender lemonade looks so refreshing! 🙂
Thank you Puja!
This looks delicious, have a question though, do you leave the lavendar in it when you add the final ingredients or do you strain it out?
I actually leave the lavender, but you could also strain it out.
