Lavender Lemonade – A Refreshing Summer Favorite

Summer is here, and what better way to cool down than with a glass of homemade Lavender Lemonade? Our Lavender Lemonade Kit makes it easy to whip up this refreshing drink, and it’s the perfect way to embrace the season of lavender blooms.

Two Ways to Make Lavender Lemonade:

I Want It NOW! (Hot Brew Method)
If you're craving a refreshing glass of lavender lemonade right away, this hot brew method is perfect!

Instructions: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pan or kettle (once it’s boiling, remove from heat).
Add the Herbal Tea Bag from the kit to the hot water. Dunk the bag a few times until all the leaves are wet. Let it steep for 10 minutes.
Remove the tea bag, then stir in the Sugar Packet from the kit until it dissolves completely.
Fill a 2-quart plastic pitcher completely with ice.
Pour the steeped tea and sugar blend over the ice in the pitcher. Stir, then fill your glass and enjoy!

Alternative Method – Cold Brew
If you prefer to let the flavors infuse slowly overnight, this cold brew method will give you a smooth, refreshing tea the next day.

Instructions: Fill a 2-quart pitcher with filtered water.
Add the Herbal Tea Bag from the kit, dunking the bag until all the leaves are wet. Stir in the Sugar Packet until it dissolves.
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator overnight to allow the tea to steep slowly.
The next day, remove the tea bag and stir the tea. Fill your glass with the refreshing brew and enjoy!
