Purple Day is eight days away. The color for epilepsy awareness is lavender. Did you know that lavender is often used to help relieve the symptoms of epilepsy? One of my favorite recipes is for lavender lemonade. To make your purple party amazing and in honor of those who have epilepsy, give this recipe a try!
Lavender Lemonade
Ingredients:
-
2 cups boiling water
-
1 cup lavender flowers (culinary lavender is the best!)
-
2 cups cold water
-
1 cup lemon juice
-
1 cup sugar (You can also use a sugar substitute like maple syrup, honey, or agave. Just be sure to measure it correctly in smaller increments for the substitutes like agave.)
Directions:
-
Place lavender in a pitcher; pour boiling water over the lavender. Cover with plastic wrap and allow lavender to steep for 10 minutes; strain and discard lavender from water and return water to the pitcher.
-
Add cold water, lemon juice, and sugar to the pitcher; stir until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate until serving.
