Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, and 1 tsp dried culinary lavender with 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and steep for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher and discard solids.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup fresh lemon juice and 2 cups cold water to the pitcher and stir well.
  4. Step 4: Fill a blender halfway with 2 cups ice cubes and pour half of the lemonade mixture over the ice. Blend on high until slushy and pour into glasses.
  5. Step 5: Repeat blending with remaining ice and lemonade mixture. Garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig and serve immediately.
