Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 5–6 lemons)
  • 4 cups coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
  • 3–4 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 3–4 cups cold water or sparkling water (to dilute)
  • Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lavender infusion: Steep 2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender buds in 2 cups of hot water for about 10 minutes to extract the floral aroma and flavor, then strain to create a delicate lavender tea base.
  2. Juice the lemons: Freshly squeeze enough lemons to yield about 1 cup of lemon juice, ensuring a bright, natural tanginess that is the heart of the lemonade.
  3. Combine the ingredients: In a large pitcher, mix the lavender tea with the lemon juice, 4 cups of coconut water, and your chosen sweetener (3-4 tablespoons honey or simple syrup). Stir well until the sweetener dissolves completely for balanced sweetness.
  4. Add water and chill: Dilute the concentrate by adding 3-4 cups of cold water or sparkling water depending on your preference for a still or fizzy drink. Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and cool.
  5. Serve over ice: Pour the chilled Lavender Coconut Lemonade into glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh lavender sprigs to create an inviting and beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade lavender to avoid bitterness and ensure food safety.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by adding honey or syrup in small amounts, tasting as you go.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice offers superior brightness compared to bottled lemonade.
  • Refrigerate the lemonade to allow the flavors to develop and intensify.
  • Try serving with crushed ice or slightly frozen for a slushed lemonade twist.
