Fruity, refreshing, and fragrant, this blueberry lavender lemonade is perfect for any occasion. It's great for summer BBQs, birthday parties, and more! While it's a thirst quencher in the summer, I love sipping on this lavender lemonade all year round.

Instructions
In a small pot, combine the lavender, sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir as you bring the syrup up to a simmer to make sure the sugar dissolves.
Simmer for 2 minutes and then remove the lavender syrup from the heat and let it steep for 10 to 25 minutes, depending on how strong you’d like the syrup to taste.
Strain the mixture into an airtight container. Let cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge to chill.
To a large pitcher, add the chilled lavender syrup, lemon juice, and blueberries. If you desire, muddle the blueberries in the pitcher beforehand to release blueberry juices.
Add 4 to 5 cups of water, depending on how strong you’d like the lavender lemonade to be.
To serve, I like to add additional blueberries and lemon slices along with some ice.
