There’s lemonade. Then there’s lavender lemonade. And THEN there’s MAGIC LAVENDER LEMONADE!! And it lives up to its name. Just look at that beauty — she’s like a sunset!
This not only captures the culinary floral goodness of the season but it incorporates another flower to take it over the rainbow into a land of magic and butterflies! Blue butterfly pea flowers to be exact! Have you tried this beautifully fun flower tea before? I shared it earlier this year in a lemony herbal magic tea. Those pretty flowers are just so fun to brew and drink.
There’s really not much else to say about this magic lavender lemonade, so I guess I’ll just leave you with the recipe.
