When Life Gives You Lemons, add Lavender...

Most of my next blogs are going to focus on the idea of using what you have on hand in your pantry...or using leftovers from a recipe...so in that spirit:

Lavender Lemonade

I made a batch of Limoncello around Christmas time, and since you only use the peel...I turned the rest into a lovely lavender lemonade.

8-10 large organic lemons (I'd use 8 if you don't like it too strong)
Small sachet of dried lavender
Honey to taste





Squeeze all the lemons into a large pitcher, add small sachet of lavender (about 1 tablespoon in cheesecloth) and raw honey to taste. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes and put in fridge. When the ice melts...add cold water to fill the pitcher.



It's a delightfully soothing lemonade....
