GROCERY LIST
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 9 lemons)
1 3/4 cups sugar
8 cups coconut water
4 cups water
Lavender Syrup:
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
3 tbsp dried lavender
A few drops of violet food coloring (optional)
To-do
Combine the ingredients in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Bring to a boil on high heat, and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat, cover, and let rest to a syrup for 20 minutes.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender, add the food coloring (used to give the lemonade a purple color).
Set syrup aside to cool.
Place lemon juice, sugar, coconut water, and water into a pitcher and shake or stir vigorously until all the sugar is dissolved. Shaking is preferred is possible as it aerates the lemonade.
Pour 1/2 of the lavender syrup into the pitcher and stir. You can add more or less lavender syrup to your personal taste.
