Homemade Lemonade With Culinary Lavender
I decided to try something new with my lemonade this summer by adding a floral twist. I had some culinary lavender on hand and thought, why not infuse it into a refreshing, tangy lemonade?
The result is a unique, aromatic drink that’s a healthier take on the classic lemonade. Just make sure to use edible lavender for a delicious and safe treat.
How To Make Lavender Simple Syrup?
I have made a recipe for lavender simple syrup, which you can also make quickly at home. It is one of the best syrups I made, aside from maple syrup and chocolate syrup, because the flavor of lavender is just unreal.
You can use it for fruity and floral drinks like lavender tea this summer or any random day.
Substitute For Homemade Lavender Syrup
If you don’t have lavender syrup at home, use simple syrup or other sweeteners like stevia powder, monk fruit and xylitol.
My collection of homemade sweeteners is the best because I can pick the perfect one for any recipe, even if I run out of something. They’re all sugar-free and have become my go-to pantry staples.

Ingredients Needed:
- Water: Prepare enough water for your lemonade mixture.
- Lavender: You can prepare fresh or dried lavender flowers for this recipe. Just make sure they are food-grade culinary lavender.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO HOMEMADE LAVENDER LEMONADE
First Step: Prepare Ingredients
Ready all the ingredients needed.
Prepare your lavender together with your fresh lemon juice. It is better if you extract the lemon juice in advance and set it aside for easy preparation.
The amount of lavender syrup will depend on how sweet you want your lemonade to be, so measure just enough for the batch.
Second Step: Combine Ingredients
Prepare your large glass pitcher. Start adding the lemon juice, lavender, and lavender syrup. Fill the pitcher up by pouring water over the lavender lemon mixture and adding some lemon slices.
Third Step: Stir
Mix until all the ingredients are combined. Give it a good stir up to the bottom of the pitcher and mix everything, ensuring the sweetener is blended well.
Fourth Step: Steep and Serve
Steep the lemonade for 2 hours and drain it by straining the lavender, leaving only the juice.
Garnish your glass cup with more lemon slices and serve over ice.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING THIS DELICIOUS LEMONADE:
- Steeping time: If you prefer a stronger lavender flavor, let the lavender steep for a bit longer, but if you want a milder taste, reduce the steeping time to 1 hour.
- Additional ingredients: You can add more ingredients for flavor or garnish, like fresh mint or basil.
- Adjust the flavor: If your lavender lemonade is too tart, add a bit more sweetener, but if it’s too sweet, a splash of extra lemon citrus can balance it out.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What To Serve With Lavender Lemonade?
What I like about refreshing lemonade is that I can match it with almost any food I want. Try pairing a lavender lemonade pitcher with salads like keto broccoli salad and low carb green goddess salad to mirror the lemonade flavor.
For snack time, you can also serve it with blueberry galette, shortbread cookies and teddy bear cookies to excite your kids and help them enjoy snacking time better. Some people also enjoy it with light pasta dishes like creamy carbonara and this keto bolognese spaghetti pasta because it’s perfect.
This recipe is also perfect to pair with mocktails and vodka for parties. Just add ice, and they are perfect.
Is This Recipe Similar To Mint Lemonade?
Yes. It is similar to mint lemonade because the ingredients used are the same except for the herb. I used lavender instead of mint, which makes it a lavender lemonade, but whatever herb you use, they are all similar and related anyway.
You can store your lavender lemonade in a pitcher with a tight-fitting lid to keep it fresh, just like what I do in all my drink recipes. For the best flavor, keep it in the refrigerator and drink it within 3-4 days.
As much as possible, avoid freezing it as it might affect the taste and texture. If you’re serving it later, stir it before pouring it to mix any settled ingredients.
