Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

4 cups sparkling water (chilled)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest

Ice cubes

Lemon slices and lavender sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, granulated sugar, and dried lavender. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

    Steep the Lavender: Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture reaches a light simmer, remove it from heat. Cover the saucepan and let the lavender steep for about 15-20 minutes.

      Strain the Syrup: After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove the lavender buds. Press down gently to extract as much flavor as possible. Allow the syrup to cool completely.

        Mix the Lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine well.

          Add Sparkling Water: Just before serving, slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water and gently stir to combine, ensuring not to lose the carbonation.

            Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the sparkling lavender lemonade over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of lavender for an elegant touch.

              Enjoy!: Serve immediately and relish the refreshing, floral taste of your homemade sparkling lavender lemonade.
