I made this last night as a nice treat for the weekend. It chilled overnight, I tried it this morning and ohhhh soooo refreshing!
- 8 cups filtered water
- 2 tsp spoonable stevia (I used Xylitol)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/8 cup dried lavender (or 1/4 cup fresh lavender flowers)
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (I juiced my own with organic lemons)
- lemon slices or blueberries (optional)
Combine 4 cups of water, stevia, lavender, and lemon zest in a pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until water turns a light shade of pink - about 10 minutes. Strain sauce and discard flowers. Pour into a pitcher and add the lemon juice and remaining water. Serve over ice with lemon slices or blueberries.
Inspired Tip: Definitely use organic lemons for this one and freshly squeeze or juice the lemons. It makes ALL of the difference in the taste.
sounds good!
