Notes
You can make the lavender syrup ahead of time. It keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For a stronger lavender flavor, let the syrup steep longer before straining.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more syrup. For less sweetness, use less syrup or add more lemon juice.
Try using Meyer lemons when in season for a unique flavor.
For a fun twist, freeze edible flowers in your ice cubes.
