Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 heaping tablespoon food-grade dried lavender
1 cup fresh lemon juice (6 to 8 lemons), plus lemon slices, for garnish
1 bottle chilled cava or other sparkling white wine such as prosecco or champagne
Directions
- Put the sugar and 1 cup of water in a small pot and bring just to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, stir in the dried lavender, cover and let steep for at least 20 minutes.
- Pour the lavender syrup through a fine-mesh strainer. The syrup can be made up to 3 days in advance and kept cold in the refrigerator.
- In a large pitcher, add the lemon juice, lavender syrup, 2 cups of water and ice and stir to combine. Taste, adding more water to reach the desired sweetness.
- Pour the lavender lemonade into individual glasses with ice, top with chilled cava and garnish with lemon slices. Enjoy!
