Lavender Lemonade
Our Lavender Simple Syrup Mix is one of the most popular items we carry. We typically make lavender lemonade with this mix and it is what we usually offer as samples at markets. There are so many things you can do with our Lavender Simple Syrup Mix but today I am going to share with you are lemonade recipe!
When making lemonade with our simple syrup mixes there are two main steps you need to follow:
- Prepare the simple syrup

A Little Magic
One of the cool things about our Lavender Simple Syrup Mix is that the syrup starts off blue and when you add something acidic (like lemon juice!) it will turn purple!
I always like adding the simple syrup or lemon juice last so show off the color change when the syrup and the lemon juice interact with each other.
If you really want to showcase this color change, especially if you have little ones, you can make individual servings by the glass as well.
