Here is the Recipe for our Famous Lavender Lemonade! Enjoy!💜

Lavender Lemonade Recipe

Core Recipe (Pitcher: ~6–8 servings)

Lavender Farmhouse Lemonade

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)

4 cups cold water (still or sparkling)

1/2- 1 cup Lavender Rich Syrup, to taste

Ice

Garnish: lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs (or a little lavender bud sprinkle)

Directions

In a large pitcher, whisk together lemon juice and 4 cups cold water.

Stir in ¾ cup Lavender Rich Syrup, taste, and add up to ¼ cup more if you want it sweeter or more floral.

Fill glasses with ice, pour over the lemonade, and garnish with a lemon wheel and lavender sprig.

For a softer, spa-water style, add up to 1 extra cup cold water once you’ve adjusted sweetness. 🌿

Happy Anniversary to my pioneering partner. Vickie, you complete me well for you are the Gigi in gigipopop, the bling to my scratch, our matriarchal mentor, a wise visionary, a godly guide, a fearless dreamer, a compassionate rescuer, a beautiful behind-the-scenes figurehead, and relentless director. With you by my side I’ll go anywhere. Together, I pray the world catches the message that they are loved and not alone.

“Let all that I am praise the LORD.
O LORD my God, how great you are!
You are robed with honor and majesty… The birds nest beside the streams
and sing among the branches of the trees (and lavender)… There the birds make their nests… Praise the LORD, oh my soul!” Psalm 104
