Lavender Lemonade (Recipe from The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau)
Lavender Lemonade (Recipe from The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau)
This lemonade hit the spot on a hot summer day! The infusion of lavender with fresh-squeezed lemons was delicious and refreshing.
(It would also be tasty with a splash of vodka or gin.)

It took much longer than it should have to make, because I couldn't find my citrus juicer (or maybe I only imagined that I have one?), so instead I squeezed the lemons by hand. I also tried, with limited success, to use a spout-style 'juice extractor,' but it works better for larger fruits like oranges and grapefruit.
I will definitely make this recipe again, and I will make sure I have the proper tools next time.

As an added bonus, every time I make this, I'll be helping to keep my overgrown lavender plant from getting out of control. And I'll get yummy lemonade as a reward.
I made this again for Labor Day weekend, and it was SO much easier with a real citrus juicer. I went a little overboard on the lavender infusion this time, so the flavor was a little bit stronger, but it was still good. The flavor combination is delightfully refreshing!
