Ingredients

Scale

Lavender Syrup

  • 1/4 cup culinary-grade lavender buds (fresh or dried)
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1/2 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)

Lemonade Base

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 2 cups coconut water
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or cream
  • 2 cups filtered water (to dilute, adjust as preferred)
  • Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lavender Syrup: Simmer the lavender buds with 1 cup of filtered water and your choice of honey or simple syrup over medium heat. Allow the mixture to gently infuse for about 5-7 minutes, then strain out the lavender buds to create a smooth, fragrant syrup.
  2. Juice the Lemons: Freshly squeeze enough lemons to get about 1 cup of lemon juice. This provides the essential tart base for the lemonade.
  3. Combine Coconut Elements: In a large pitcher, mix together the coconut water and coconut milk or cream to create a tropical and creamy flavor foundation.
  4. Mix It All Together: Add the lavender syrup and lemon juice to the coconut mixture. Stir thoroughly and taste, adjusting sweetness or tartness with additional syrup or lemon juice if needed.
  5. Chill and Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Lavender Coconut Lemonade over. Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender or a lemon slice for a lovely presentation.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade lavender only to ensure safety and flavor quality.
  • Start with less sweetener and adjust gradually to maintain a refreshing tartness.
  • Chill the coconut water and lemon juice beforehand for an instantly cool drink.
  • Strain the lavender buds thoroughly to avoid any bitterness or gritty texture.
  • Choose light or full-fat coconut milk depending on desired creaminess.
