    The ingredients needed to make lavender mint lemonade separated into bowls.
    • Lavender flowers - lavender is the star of this lemonade. It adds a unique flavour and beautiful pink color to create lavender pink lemonade. You can use either fresh lavender flowers or dried lavender flowers for this homemade lemonade. Just be sure to use food grade lavender that doesn't have pesticides on it.
    • Mint leaves - fresh mint leaves help add a refreshing mint flavour to this mint lemonade.
    • Lemon juice - freshly squeezed lemon juice makes the best lemonade! You can either squeeze your own lemon juice or buy lemon juice from the store.
    • Honey or maple syrup - either of these natural sweeteners can be used to sweeten this lemonade.

    Recipe variations and add ins:

    • If you are serving a crowd feel free to make a double or triple batch.
    • To make this lavender mint lemonade vegan use maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten it.
    • You can add more or less honey or maple syrup to make it more or less sweet depending on your flavour preference.
    • Turn this into lavender gin lemonade by adding some gin before serving.
    • This lemonade recipe is versatile - add a little ginger to make lavender ginger lemonade, add a couple fresh basil leaves to make lavender basil lemonade or add a sprig of fresh thyme to make lavender thyme lemonade.

    Lavender mint lemonade FAQs:

    Is this lemonade recipe vegan?

    Yes it is as long as you sweeten it with maple syrup.
