Delicious Lavender Lemonade Recipe

362 Shares

Lemonade is hands down my favorite summer drink. There is something so sweet, tangy and refreshing about some lemonade over ice on a hot, hot day.

My standard lemonade is usually infused with peppermint or spearmint, but after tasting lavender lemonade on a trip to the Young Living lavender farm in Mona, Utah, I was hooked.

When you arrive at the farm there are beautiful gardens everywhere. And in the midst of all of those beautiful places is a little snack shack where you can buy slushies made with NingXia Red, lavender ice cream (which is also surprisingly amazing) and this delicious lavender lemonade.

So of course I had to figure out how to make it for myself.

Now before you get worried, the lavender lemonade does not at all taste flowery or soapy. That was what I was first worried about when I had it the first time. It’s just a surprisingly delicious hint of lavender. Who knew it could taste so good?

Of course, if you’re going to be making it you’ll want to make a lot, so this lavender lemonade recipe is going to make a gallon of sweet goodness for you!

Plus it gives me an excuse to break out a cute gallon container to put it all into, right?

So here’s what you’ll need:

Lavender Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients:

14 cups filtered water
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup fine sugar (dissolved in 1 cup of the water over low heat) or 1/2 cup agave nectar (or my personal favorite: stevia to taste)
8 drops Lemon Vitality essential oil
1 drop Lavender Vitality essential oil

How to do it:

Combine the sugar (after its dissolved in the 1 cup of water) or agave to with the vitality essential oils.
Add to the water and lemon juice and stir carefully.
Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving over ice.

This is the perfect summer treat! I think you’ll find that you love it a lot.

Of course if you chicken out on the Lavender Vitality you could try substituting Spearmint Vitality or Peppermint Vitality, but that wouldn’t be quite the same *wink*
