1/2 cup dried lavender
1/2 cup raw honey

- Juice the lemons: In a large pitcher, combine the juice of 4 lemons with the remaining 2 cups of water.
- Mix the lemonade: Pour the lavender-honey syrup into the lemon juice mixture and stir well to combine.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the lavender lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve over ice, and garnish with lemon slices or fresh lavender sprigs if desired.
