BLUEBERRY LAVENDER fruit drink – a straightforward, distinctive SUMMER DRINK
As you will recall, i like lavender (and alternative floral or herby flavors), and this mix of lavender and blueberry has appeared before on the web log in my blueberry lemon lavender energy bites. Since I’m smitten by the blueberry lavender flavor combination, I patterned I ought to positively produce a novel drink focused around them, and that i needed this specific drink to be delicious with or while not the addition of alcohol. After all, i need everybody to relish this wonderful blueberry lavender lemonade!
I in person realize several industrial or fine-grained combine lemonades so much too sweet (if i purchase that icky syrupy film on my teeth once drinking it, it’s gone method, method too so much with the sugar) and sometimes laden with supernumerary 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 small amount a lot of. Of course, you'll modify sweetness levels to your feeling by adding a lot of honey or xerophile.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ¼ C Lemon Juice (from 6–7 large lemons)
- 1 Cup blueberries

- 2 ½ – 3 Tbsp honey or agave (or to taste)
