Cold, creamy, nutritious and delicious. Perfect smoothie to drink every morning for breakfast this summer.
This Luxurious Lavender Lemonade is such an easy way to take a classic summer drink and elevate it to impress your family and friends. Some of the hottest summers are on the horizon. Let’s take advantage and pair this lemonade with a barbeque or a lovely day out in the garden!
Proportions will depend on how strong or weak you like your lemonade, so take the measurements as a guide point. Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking either with more water for a more subtle taste or more honey for something sweeter.
When serving I keep a lemon peel in the glass to keep it extra fresh.
