Instructions

Ready to create your mocktail? Follow these easy steps:

  • Infuse the lavender: Bring the water to a boil, then add the lavender. Let it steep for about 10 minutes.
  • Make the lemonade: Mix lemon juice and sugar in a pitcher. Stir until combined.
  • Strain and combine: Use the strainer to filter out the lavender from the water. Pour this fragrant mix into the lemonade.
  • Add sparkle: Gently stir in the sparkling water for bubbles.
  • Serve: Fill glasses with ice, pour the mocktail, and garnish with lemon slices and lavender sprigs.

It’s simple, yet sophisticated. Enjoy this refreshing sip! πŸΉπŸ˜‹

    Notes

    Here are a few things I keep in mind:
    For a sweeter touch, you can use honey or agave instead of sugar.
    If you prefer it extra bubbly, increase the sparkling water.
    Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
    For a visual twist, use different colored lemon slices.
