Lavender Mint Meyer Lemonade a Refreshing Summer Drink
Paula Kane · Provencal Recipes · TasteI’ve fallen in love with a new drink this summer – Lavender Mint Meyer Lemonade. It’s been unbelievably hot and sunny in Provence, pretty much non-stop. So this weather is a perfect time to sip while sitting in the shade, listening to cicadas while enjoying a gentle breeze. This lemonade is very refreshing and I am sure it has healing properties, I am certain of it ;)

Instructions

Notes
I use less honey as I prefer mine hardly sweet, so use as much as you want to taste. Lavender honey is a wonderful addition, but use any honey you like. And for those more adventurous, this is quite nice with a little splash of gin!
