Print Recipe

A bubbly, floral lemonade made with fresh lemon juice, homemade honey lavender syrup, and sparkling water. This refreshing drink balances tart lemon, fragrant lavender, and natural honey sweetness for a perfect summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh lemons, juiced (about 1 cup lemon juice)
  • 1/2 cup (170 g) raw wildflower honey
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water for syrup
  • 3 cups (720 ml) cold water for diluting
  • 4 cups (960 ml) sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices and lavender sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the honey lavender syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1 cup water, and 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until honey dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture gently simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the lavender flavor. Avoid boiling vigorously.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Strain syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or pitcher, pressing lightly to extract flavor. Set aside to cool completely.
  4. Juice the lemons to yield about 1 cup fresh lemon juice. Strain seeds and pulp for a smooth base.
  5. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled honey lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and 3 cups cold water. Stir and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.
  6. Just before serving, gently stir in 4 cups sparkling water to add fizz.
  7. Pour over ice-filled glasses and garnish with lemon slices and lavender sprigs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not boil the syrup vigorously to avoid bitterness. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Stir sparkling water gently to preserve bubbles. Syrup and lemon base can be made a day ahead and refrigerated separately. Use large ice cubes to prevent quick dilution. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
