I love unique sweet drinks. hope you enjoy this also! Ingredients:
4 cups of water |
4 fresh organic lemons, squeezed and seeds strained out (but leave in some of the pulp) |
1 tbsp dried lavender buds |
1/8 cup raw blue agave nectar |
pour one cup of boiling water over lavender buds. |
cover and steep for 10 minutes. |
combine remaining 3 cups of water with lemon juice. |
mix with steeped lavender water. |
add agave nectar and stir. |
chill before serving. |
Directions:
1. Some people said they thought the drink was not sweet enough.
2. I believe this is mainly because they are used to (or should I say, are addicted to) the sharper sweet taste of table sugar.
3. Agave nectar has a smooth sweet taste which allows the flavor of lavender and lemon to dominate.
4. However, the size and juiciness of the lemons can make a difference in the tartness of the drink, as well as the fact that being organic makes them taste more lemony .
5. So the amount of agave nectar may need to be adjusted to taste.
6. Yields a little over one quart

8. Lavender has a huge array of health benefits.
9. It helps to get rid of migraines, dizziness and digestive disorders.
10. It promotes natural sleep and eases insomnia, and it can be used as an antiseptic and disinfectant to heal wounds.
11. One of the other major ingredients is lemon.
12. I’m sure you are very aware of the power of lemons for bossting health – but this fruit is more than just a rich source of Vitamin C.
13. Lemons contain compounds called limonoids that have been identified to assist in fighting cancers of the mouth, skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon. Lemon is a powerful little fruit and you can get a great does from this lavender lemonade drink.
