Description

This Blueberry Lavender Lemonade is a refreshing, fruity, and lightly floral summer drink made with natural ingredients. Its beautiful purple hue comes from blueberries, and it’s subtly infused with culinary lavender for an elegant twist.

2 cups water (for syrup)

1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup granulated sugar or cane sugar

1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender

3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)

2 to 3 cups cold water (to dilute lemonade)

Ice, for serving

Lemon slices, blueberries, or lavender sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups water, blueberries, sugar, and dried lavender. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing on the blueberries to extract all the juice.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and 2 to 3 cups of cold water to dilute the lemonade to taste.
Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices, blueberries, or a sprig of lavender if desired.

Notes

Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available or too expensive.
Adjust sugar and water levels to control sweetness and tartness.
Swap in sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy version.
Garnish with edible flowers or mint for a decorative touch.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher.
