When Life Gives you Lemons & Lavender . . .
A few years ago, I had been inspired by one of my favorite gardening books, The Curious Gardener’s Alamanac: Centuries of Practical Garden Wisdom by Niall Edworthy, to use my 4th of July party guests as guinea pigs. It is kind of fun experimenting on unsuspecting guests . . . Mr. Edworthy offered a very simple recipe for lavender infused lemonade that I couldn’t resist. I put two and two together and realized I had plenty of lavender in the garden just ripe and ready for this sweet, cool, summer drink.
Of course, it was a hit and now has become an annual expectation at most of our summer gatherings – and I can never make enough!

I love lavender and lemons together! You can add a little St. Germain to make it a super fancy cocktail, too!
