BLUEBERRY LAVENDER fruit drink – an easy, distinctive SUMMER DRINK
As you'll recall, i like lavender (and different floral or herby flavors), and this mixture of lavender and blueberry has appeared before on the web log in my blueberry lemon lavender energy bites. Since I’m passionate about the blueberry lavender flavor combination, I patterned I ought to positively produce a novel drink targeted around them, and that i wished this specific drink to be delicious with or while not the addition of alcohol. After all, i need everybody to get pleasure from this superb blueberry lavender lemonade!
I in person realize several industrial or powdery combine lemonades so much too sweet (if i buy that icky sugary film on my teeth when drinking it, it’s gone means, means too so much with the sugar) and infrequently laden with unnecessary ingredients. This blueberry lavender fruit drink gets most of its sweetness from the natural sugars within the blueberries, however I do add some honey (agave for vegan) to balance the tartness of the lemons simply a touch a lot of. Of course, you'll be able to change sweetness levels to your feeling by adding a lot of honey or xerophytic plant.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ¼ C Lemon Juice (from 6–7 large lemons)
- 1 Cup blueberries
- 2 tsp lavender
- 2 ½ – 3 Tbsp honey or agave (or to taste)
- 4 C water
- 7 ½ oz vodka (a scant cup), optional
INSTRUCTIONS:
FOR THE LEMONADE:
- Crush the lavender in a mortar and pestle (or with a muddler, the back of a spoon, etc.)
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend thoroughly. Allow a few minutes for mixture to settle.
- Pour lemonade gently into a pitcher through a fine mesh strainer, occasionally pausing to rinse the strainer and discard blueberry skin and lavender bits as they accumulate. If desired (recommended), strain again. Alternatively, use a nut milk bag.
