LAVENDER PINK LEMONADE
This recipe is inspired by Lauren Conrad's one but it is slightly different and in grams! The cool thing about it - apart from the incredible color - it's that once you learned how to do simple syrup, you can create whatever flavor you want!
The only thing I feel like I should tell you before we dive straight into the recipe is that you definitely need less than 100 g of dried lavender to do that, so maybe there's no need to spend 5 euros on it.
Don't ask and just learn from someone else's mistakes.
What you'll need »
- water, like a lot (technical term here, kids)
- 200g white sugar
- 3 tablespoon dried lavender (I got it from a herbalist's stop)
- 2 and a half lemon
Here's how »
- First thing you need to do is simple syrup: combine 587,5 g (it's converted from cups, sorry) of water with 200g of sugar and the dried lavender in a pot. Wait until it boils then reduce heat and let it simmer (simmer down, simmer down, they say we're too young now to amount to anything else!*) for 5 minutes. Now turn off the heat, cover, and let it rest for at least a hour.
- Filter your syrup so there's no dried lavender left in it. You should get a red liquid, that's thicker than water but not as thick as maple syrup.
- Now juice your lemons.
- All you have to do at this point is combine your syrup with lemon juice and water. Those doses give me 3 and a half litres of lemonade, but you could get more or less depending on how strong you like the lavender flavor. Seriously, you can just add more water, more syrup or more lemon juice to taste.
- You're done! Now all you have to do is sip away this incredibly pretty lemonade and show everyone how hipster and sophisticated you are.
Lemonade lasts for something like a couple weeks, but it's so addictive I don't think it's gonna make it this far.
Now I just need someone who dyes my hair that exact same color and I'll be fine...
