Lavender Limeade

Here’s another idea for an easy summer beverage. Lavender Limeade is super easy and you don’t need to add a bunch of sugar. The lavender flowers add their own sweetness. For one glass, boil 2 c. water, add a teaspoon or so of sugar, the juice from one or two limes and a fresh lavender sprig. Remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Strain if your worried about drinking down the flower. Pour over ice.
