As spring turns into summer, we count down the days to the lavender harvest for one simple reason - lavender lemonade. The refreshing and thirst-quenching flavor of this simple and sweet fresh-squeezed drink is a delight in the summer heat. Infusing it with the sweet, floral-forward flavor of dried lavender takes it to an entirely new level.
