- In a pitcher, mix lemon juice, lavender syrup, and honey to desired sweetness.
- Add crushed ice and stir well.
- Pour in sparkling water and stir gently.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, lemon zest, and edible flowers.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
Use organic lemons for a cleaner flavor.
Choose a low-sodium sparkling water if desired.
Adjust sweetness and floral intensity to personal taste by varying the amount of honey or steeping time of the lavender syrup.
Optional mint leaves enhance aroma without overpowering the drink.
