When the sun is shining, the lavender is growing and the bees are hard at work, there's nothing better than sitting outside with a glass of lavender lemonade!

Lavender honey lemonade is one of our favorite drinks when the sun is shining during the summer. There's something wonderful about the bees helping the flowers,  the flowers feeding the bees and getting to enjoy the fruit of their work.

The subtle floral twist on lemonade is great at summer barbecues, baby showers or any other reason to celebrate! Just double or triple the recipe quantities according to how many guests you have.
