Ingredients
    For the Lavender Syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender (food-grade)
    • For the Lemonade Base
  • 1.25 cups fresh lemon juice (from 6–8 lemons)
  • 2 cups coconut water (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup cold filtered water
  • 0.5 cup lavender syrup (adjust to taste)
    • Optional Add-Ins
  • 0.25 cup coconut milk (for creamier texture)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Lemon slices, for garnish
  • Fresh lavender sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
    Make the Lavender Syrup
  1. 1
    In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Once it begins to gently simmer, add the dried culinary lavender. Keep the syrup at around 95°C and let it steep for 3–4 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow it to sit for another 5 minutes to extract full flavor. Strain to remove lavender buds and let the syrup cool completely.
    2. Prepare the Lemon Juice
  2. 2
    Cut the lemons in half and juice them until you have 1.25 cups of fresh lemon juice. For a smooth texture, strain the juice to remove seeds and excess pulp.
    3. Mix the Lemonade
  3. 3
    In a large pitcher, add fresh lemon juice, coconut water, cold filtered water, and the cooled lavender syrup. Stir the mixture thoroughly. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup or water based on preference.
    4. Optional – Add Coconut Milk
  4. 4
    For a tropical creamy twist, whisk in 0.25 cup of coconut milk. This step adds a silky body that perfectly complements the lavender aroma.
    5. Chill and Serve
  5. 5
    Add ice cubes to glasses, pour the coconut lavender lemonade over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices or fresh lavender sprigs. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
Note

Sweetness Adjustments: Increase syrup for a sweeter drink or reduce it for a sharper lemon flavor.

Color Tip: Add 1–2 drops of natural butterfly pea flower extract for a purple hue without artificial dye.

Storage: Lavender syrup lasts 1 week in the refrigerator. Prepared lemonade stays fresh for up to 48 hours.

Alternative Sweeteners: Honey or coconut sugar can be used instead of white sugar (flavor will slightly vary).

Lavender Strength: Culinary lavender is strong—avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
