Ingredients
Method
Make the Lavender Syrup
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sugar, water, and dried lavender. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let steep for 2–3 hours to infuse. Strain out the lavender flowers and set the syrup aside to cool.
Muddle the Blueberries
- Add 1 cup (150 g) blueberries and the lemon juice to a pitcher or cocktail shaker. Muddle until the berries release their juices and the mixture becomes a deep purple.
Build the Lemonade
- Add the lavender syrup and cold water. Stir or shake gently to combine. Add the ice and pour in chilled club soda to fill the pitcher to the top.
Serve
- Pour into glasses over fresh ice. Garnish with the remaining blueberries, lemon wheels, and a sprig of fresh lavender.
Notes
- For a stronger lavender flavor, steep the syrup up to 4 hours — but don’t overdo it; lavender becomes bitter if pushed too far.
- You can swap club soda for sparkling water for a lighter fizz.
- If you prefer a clearer lemonade, strain the muddled blueberry mixture before adding the club soda.
- Add extra lemon juice if you want more brightness or acidity.
