Absolutely fantastic. Almost addicting - it was so good. Shared with a neighbor - she had the same reaction.

This was delightful and refreshing. I got my lavender flowers from Milford Spice Company... check out any online Spice Company.

Many natural foods stores carry them, I've also seen them available on-line.

I have no sun garden. Where does one obtain dried lavender flowers?

Arloween - Have not tried this, but use lavender in Earl Grey tea frequently. I'm anxious to try this, and will definitely use fresh lemon juice. The bottled just doesn't have the fresh flavor. It will make a difference.

My question is do you fresh squeezed lemon juice or do you use lemon juice from the bottle? Does it make a difference?

The taste is heavenly!! I just love the fact that it's easy to make and homemade.

I must say that I never would have paired lavendar and lemons but the mix is delightful! Even my college aged kids liked it. The lavendar just adds an extra layer of flavor that makes the lemonade sweeter and richer. I used fresh flowers and leaves right from the garden. This will be a favorite drink for our house for a long time to come. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
