Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 4 cups Sparkling water
• 2 cups Ice
• 4 sprigs Lavender sprigs (optional for garnish)
• 4 slices Lemon slices (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes so the lavender infusion strengthens.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the lavender syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds, and transfer the syrup to a clean jar or container.

Step 4

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender syrup and fresh lemon juice. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Step 5

Add the sparkling water to the pitcher and gently stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sparkling water or lemon juice if needed.

Step 6

Fill serving glasses with ice and pour the lavender cooler over the ice.

Step 7

Garnish each glass with a lavender sprig and a lemon slice, if desired, and serve immediately.
