I have summer on the brain this week. 1 tsp. dried lavender 2 tbs. honey (Ben adds a packet of Stevia to his glass.) 1 and 1/4 cups water for boiling plus 1 and 1/4 cups cold water juice of 2 lemons ice Bring water to boil, add lavender flowers (you can also add strawberries if you want pink lemonade). Cover and steep until it reaches a "warm" temperature (not "hot"). Add honey, stir to dissolve. Cool thoruoghly. Combine with cold water and lemon juice, taste to adjust flavor ( I tend to like my lemonade very lemon-y ). Serve over ice, mini umbrella optional ;) You can make herbal lemonade with nettles, raspberry leaves, or other herbs. This is a good way to get herbs into kids. Catnip is a good herb for fevers, which would make catnip lemonade great for when you have a cold (but hold the ice).
