This is a summertime favorite in our household. Lavender lemonade is a perfect way to cool off while sitting on the deck/porch on a hot summer day. Plus, there are tremendous health benefits to this flavorful combination!
The lemon aids digestion, boosts metabolism and is a huge support for your immune system. The lavender helps with anxiety, depression, and fatigue as well as being good for your gut health and blood pressure.
And, hey, if you wanted to make it more of a grown up bevvy and add some vodka to it, I won't hold that against you!
Get yourself a citrus juicer - trust me on this one!!
