Hill Country


One more thing for today: Lavender Lemonade!!!

From the book by Jeannie Ralston, The Unlikely Lavender Queen. Hill Country, west and outside of Austin is so beautiful. I love to drive there and go out for walks. This place is unique and Hill Country Lavender make a unique drink: Lavender Lemonade. This sounds so good so here is the recipe:

LAVENDER LEMONADE RECIPE

Make lemonade either from scratch or concentrate. Separately, make a lavender tea, using either our dried lavender in cheesecloth or one of our lavender bath and tea bags. Let the tea steep for about 15 minutes; remove the lavender. Pour the tea into the lemonade. Use about 2 cups of lavender tea for every gallon of lemonade. Add plenty of ice, and a lavender sprig in each glass for a garnish.

NOTE: From concentrate, mix one can wtih 2 cups water and 1 cup tea.

Enjoy!
