    What Do I Need To Make Sparkling Lavender Lemonade?

    You'll need:

    • fresh lemons
    • sugar
    • water
    • sparkling water
    • lavender extract
    • violet food coloring (optional)

    Pro Tip: Use Food Grade Extract - For this recipe I used lavender essential oil, but fresh lavender flowers and dry lavender will work just the same. If using dry lavender make sure it is culinary lavender.  I'll give you the run down in the recipe below.  If you do opt to use essential oil - please make sure that it is food grade.  Not all essential oils are created equally.

    The Benefits of Lavender

    I think every mom out there needs a little R&R, and this lemonade is just that.  Lavender is kind of the swiss army knife of home remedies.  It aids in:

    • insomnia
    • anxiety
    • headaches
    • depression
    • allergies
    • the common cold
    • stress,
    • skin irritations

    And that is only naming a few.  So why not add a little lavender to your lemonade.

      I'm looking for the run-down on using the dry lavender, and am not finding it at all. So are there any special preps necessary, such as washing seems like a no-brainer.

        You need to use culinary lavender, not from the florist. You can put them in a cheesecloth and add to your simple syrup while it boils. Discard the lavender flowers and stems after boiling.

      I notice the recipe calls for lavender essential oil (which is really not safe to ingest) but in your photo you are using lavender extract. I’m assuming the recipe wrongly calls for EO.

      Made the lavender tea.........amazing!
      My only question: how do you add food coloring to yellow lemonade without it turning an ugly gray color? Tried it with Just a glass and it looked awful.

        I use the food color gels, which are a bit more pigmented. You can find them here: https://rstyle.me/n/c7y4rd6ajn

      I heard that digesting lavendar oil was toxic, especially for men.????? I will try this recipe using culinary dried lavendar. Sounds delish!

        Hi Jessica, I use pharmaceutical grade oils that are safe for ingesting - but I will definitely look into it! Let me know how it turns out with the dried lavender!
