Lavender Lemonade

Got this recipe from Sunday Suppers blog.

All you need:

- 2 cups sugar
- 5 sprigs lavender (stems and buds), plus additional for garnish. But this time I don't use sprigs, I use lavender herbs :)
- 2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 10 lemons)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring one gallon of water and the sugar to a boil. Remove from heat; add 7 lavender sprigs (or 7-10 tsp of lavender herbs) and lemon and lime juices. Cool to room temperature, strain, and chill. Serve on ice, with additional lavender for garnish.

I just love the color....it sooths you right away :)
