Ingredients

I love gathering fresh ingredients for this mocktail. Here’s what you’ll need:

2 cups cold water
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
½ cup fresh lemon juice about 3-4 lemons

½ cup simple syrup adjust to taste
Ice Cubes
Lemon slices for garnish
Lavender sprigs for garnish

Using fresh lavender and lemon makes a big difference in taste. If you can, get the freshest ingredients possible. The freshness elevates the drink’s flavor profile, making it more irresistible and authentic.

Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making the mocktail:

Infuse Lavender: Start by boiling the cold water.
Add lavender and leave it to steep for about 10 minutes. Then, strain it to remove the flowers.
Mix Ingredients: In a shaker, combine the lavender infusion, lemon juice, and simple syrup.

Shake well with ice to chill the mixture thoroughly.
Serve: Strain into a fancy glass filled with ice cubes.
Garnish with a lemon slice and a lavender sprig for that extra touch of elegance.

I always taste to adjust sweetness or acidity to my liking before serving.

Enjoying the process is key. Remember, the perfect mix is one that suits your personal taste!

Notes

A few things I keep in mind when making this mocktail:

Adjust Sweetness: Depending on personal preference, vary the amount of simple syrup.
