Instructions
- Prepare the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, and dried lavender buds. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 15-20 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar, discarding the lavender buds. Let cool completely.
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, unsweetened coconut milk, and the cooled lavender simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
- Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir again. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup or water as needed.
- Fill serving glasses generously with ice cubes.
- Pour the Coconut Lavender Lemonade Mocktail over the ice in each glass.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh lavender sprig and a lemon slice before serving.
Notes
For a stronger lavender flavor, steep the buds for a longer period. Ensure you use culinary-grade lavender. The coconut milk adds a lovely creaminess, but can be substituted with a dairy-free milk alternative if preferred.
