Sometimes simple is best. This tangy and refreshing lemonade is not-too-sweet and delightfully fragrant. A pitcher of it will disappear rather quickly on a hot summer afternoon.

Ingredients:

• 6 lemons, juiced
• 120 mL (1/2 cup) honey
• 2 drops lavender essential oil
• Ice water, 2.5 L (about 10 cups)
• Lavender sprigs (optional)
• Lemon slices or peel twists (optional)

Directions:

Combine lemon juice, honey, and lavender oil in a large pitcher.

Add water to dilute to taste.

Pour over ice in your favorite glasses and garnish with lemon slices/peel twists and lavender sprigs.
