Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1 cup water, and 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender buds. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until honey dissolves and the mixture just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and steep for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Strain the lavender honey syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the lavender buds.
Step 3: Add 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 3 cups cold water to the pitcher with the lavender honey syrup. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Refrigerate the lemonade mixture for at least 1 hour until well chilled.
Step 5: To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour lemonade mixture halfway, then top with 1/2 cup sparkling water per glass. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs if desired.
