Blueberry Lavender Lemonade

Blueberry Lavender Lemonade is the most perfect summertime sipper! Made with real lemon, fresh blueberries, dried lavender and sweetened with stevia!

I think I may be in denial.

As summer is coming to an end all I have been cooking is one summer dish after the next. I’m sure I should be preparing for the fall. I should be stockpiling all sorts of recipes for the coming season. I should be switching to the mindset of pumpkin, apple, and root veggies, but I can’t help myself.

I’m just not ready to let go. I am holding onto summer’s long lazy days, warm sunshine, and extra time spent with friends.

Don’t get me wrong, I love fall. It is hands down my favorite season, but summer is always the hardest season to let go of! It means fewer salads, fewer sun filled hours in the day, and fewer evenings spent sitting on the porch. I will have to exchange shorts in for pants. My skin will return to its natural, very pale, color.

When the apples get heavy on the trees I’ll be ready and waiting to pick them, but for those of you like minded rebels willing to go against the seasonal changes, boy, do I have some recipes for you.

Make way for today’s recipe of Blueberry Lavender Lemonade in your late summer recipe arsenal.

If you’ve never had Blueberry Lavender Lemonade, it may sound unusual at first, but trust me on this one. It’s love at first sip. The lavender transforms plain Jane lemonade into something extra special, and look at that color! Its a masterpiece. 

And all those sweet juicy bleubs floating around are waiting to be slurped up in the most wonderful kind of lemonade snack around.

Lets stand together against the changing season as we raise our glasses of Blueberry Lavender Lemonade in honor of the last few days of summer!

3. Using a fine mesh strainer to catch the lavender flowers, pour the mixture into the pitcher. Stir. Serve over ice and garnish with extra lemon wedges or lavender flowers if desired.

Notes

*If you’re not a fan of stevia, you can use honey or maple syrup to sweeten the lemonade.
