    Lavender Lemonade is so refreshing and the flavor is crazy good! If you haven't used fresh lavender in recipes, this is a great way to start.

    My younger daughter, Jess, absolutely loves plants, so this Easter I decided to pick her up a few.

    I usually make Easter baskets for my girls, but now that one is in college in Canada and Jess is turning 18 this summer, I thought this might be the year to stop.

    After all, we are all trying to eat healthier, so we don’t need a bunch of chocolate and Peeps in the house anyway!

    Jess has been telling me about a couple of recipes she wanted to make with fresh Lavender, so I headed to my local gardening store and picked up a few plants, a new planter, and a big bag of soil.

    I knew nothing would make her happier.

    She got to work right away.

    Having her hands in the dirt is really her happy place.

    This girl is all about using the plants she grows so we decided to make the Lavender Lemonade that she had been telling me about.

    What You Need

    This lemonade is easy to make, but it does have a few steps before you'll be able to sit out in the warm sun sipping it!

    Gather your ingredients to make Lavender Lemonade. You'll need Meyer lemons, honey, fresh lavender, water and ice.

    Let me tell you, when you have a kid who loves plants and gardening, you have to get used to the dirt ending up everywhere.

    This girl of mine will be heading off to college on a new adventure soon, and I am treasuring these memories (and taking lots of photos!) I don't want to let the fear of her ruining those jeans get in the way of our fun.

    I want to get a little more fun out of every day while my girl is still home! This Lavender Lemonade was a fun project for us to do together.

    Do I have to use Meyer Lemons?

    No, you can use any lemons. We did like the flavor of the Meyer lemons, but they can be hard to find sometimes.

    Can I use sugar instead of honey?

    Yes, you can use any sweetener of your choice.
