I love flavored lemonades! Strawberry, huckleberry, peach, mango, there are so many flavors! Lemonade is a great way to quench thirst and stay hydrated in the heat of Summer. While lemons have an acidic pH outside of the body, they actually help alkalize the body once consumed. They are a rich source of vitamin C and add a puckering, sour counterbalance to the sweet taste of simple syrup.
Lavender is cooling and calming and has such a lovely fragrance. While some think it tastes like soap, others, like me, love the flavor! In Sequim, WA they have a lavender festival each year with tons of farms growing flowing, vibrant, purple, pink, and even white lavender. I love the beauty they bring, and the bees sure love to pollinate them.
Mix up your lemonade habit in August with this icy, blended lavender lemonade. Sip, sip, enjoy!

- Yield: ~10 oz
Description
Enjoy this tasty lavender lemonade when the heat (and sweat) is on! Packed with electrolytes, this cooling refresher will keep you hydrated and chill.
Ingredients
Lavender Lemonade
- 3 Tbs lemon juice
- 2–3 Tbs lavender simple syrup (depending on sweetness preference)
- 1 cup ice
- 1 oz water
- 1 serving Clean Electrolytes + Trace Minerals
Lavender Simple Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 heaping Tbs lavender
Instructions
For Lavender Simple Syrup:
Combine water, sugar and lavender together in a pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it steep for 30 minutes to infuse the flavor.
For Drink:
- Make the lavender simple syrup ahead of time and let it cool. You can double the recipe if needed. I generally store it for about 2 weeks in the fridge without issues.
- Squeeze the lemon juice, and measure out your syrup (2- 3 tbs), ice and water.
- Blend all ingredients together in the blender. Pour into a glass. Sip and enjoy.
Notes
If you don’t want an icy slushy, just mix the lemon and lavender with 8-10 oz cold water instead of blending in the blender with ice.
- Cook Time: 30 minutes (simple syrup)
