Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
- 2 cups coconut water (natural, unsweetened)
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups filtered water
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Lavender Infusion: Steep the dried culinary lavender in about 1 cup of hot water for 10 minutes to extract its fragrant floral notes. This infusion forms the flavor base of the lemonade.
- Juice the Fresh Lemons: While the lavender steeps, squeeze fresh lemons to yield approximately 1 cup of lemon juice, ensuring bright and zesty flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: After the lavender infusion has cooled, strain out the lavender flowers. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, coconut water, filtered water, and your chosen natural sweetener (honey or agave) until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Chill and Serve: Add plenty of ice cubes to the mixture, stir well, then pour into glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, lavender sprigs, or mint as desired. Enjoy your refreshing Lavender Coconut Lemonade!
Notes

- Choose natural, unsweetened coconut water without preservatives for best taste.
- Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid overpowering the lemon and lavender flavors.
- Infuse lavender separately to control strength and prevent bitterness.
- Serve the lemonade extra cold to maximize refreshment.
