Creating Iced Lavender Lemonade is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Lavender Infusion: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the culinary lavender. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Steep: Once boiling, remove from heat and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes to extract the lavender flavor.
3. Strain: After steeping, strain the lavender-infused water through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds. Set aside.
4. Mix Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
5. Combine Mixtures: Add the lavender infusion to the pitcher, followed by the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Chill: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill the lemonade.
7. Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled lemonade over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning and delicious Iced Lavender Lemonade that is sure to impress!
