Project: Lavender, lemon, honey lemonade
EN
Sorry, no Yarnfood Saturday
today because I simply don’t have any crochet work done :c But! A few are in
its WIP so, hopefully next week!
Instead about crocheting, it’s
about a refreshment with a homemade lavender/honey/lemon soda!
Even though it’s officially
September and the PSL (pumpkin spice latte) are right around the corner, the
summer in
Since I somewhere read a
blog (sorry forgot who) about lavender drinks, I got charmed by this idea and
because I did it once with cupcakes, it didn't take long to for me to make a
decision.
And I got hooked.
Lavender itself is not my favorite
scent/flower, but what a yummy sweet fragrant drink this is! The balance of flavor
is just perfect.
I wonder if the bees and
wasps and butterflies have similar tasting as I had? :P

Sorry, geen Yarnfood zaterdag vandaag, omdat ik geen materiaal klaar
heb liggen :c Maar geen paniek! Er liggen wel werkjes die hopelijk voor volgende week klaar zijn!
In plaats van over haken,
gaat het dit keer over een drankje met daarin: lavendel / honing / citroen!
Ook al is het officieel
september en de ‘pumpkin spice latte’ gaan zo in de verkoop (zin in!), lijkt
de zomer in Nederland maar niet te willen weggaan. Paar dagen geleden was het
nog zelfs tussen 28° -
Ergens las ik op een blog
(sorry vergeten wie) over lavendel in je drankjes doen, en dat wilde ik
weleens uitproberen! Ik heb eerder al op cupcakes gebruikt en dat smaakte
naar meer!
Ik ben geloof nu verliefd
op lavendel smaak, want lavendel zelf is niet mijn favoriete geur/bloem maar
wat smaakte hij goed in mijn mond! Lekker verfrissend ook!
Zouden de bijtjes, wespen
en vlinders dit ook dezelfde smaak sensatie ervaren? :P

One of my latest purchases!
NL: soms moet ik de Xenos gewoon ontwijken want ik kom haast nooit meer met lege handen naar buiten toe!
I felt so sad to the idea I have to throw these lavenders in the bin after this short time of using.
I have put them on a piece of kitchen towel and placed it in the toilet as air freshener ha. :')
How pretty is the color!
- In a sauce pan goes: 1 cup water and the 3 tbsp. of honey and let this honey water shimmer on low heat.
- Remove sauce pan from heat and add in the dried lavender and lemon juice. Stir! Cover pan with lid and let it completely cool down.
- Once completely cooled down, use a sieve to catch all the lavender whilst pouring in a jug/glass and add in the 1 cup bubble/soda water. Optional but you can add a lovely slice of lemon as garnish. You may also want to serve it with ice cubes c:
Good luck!
Such an exotic and gorgeous variation on the classic lemonade! Love it :) -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
ReplyDeleteIt's so pink!! I wonder how that happens from the lavender...? I tried making just honey/lemon soda earlier this week, and I don't think I like honey + soda as much as honey + plain sugar haha. Personally I like the lavender scent a lot!

Where do you get your lavender? At the groceries? I really want to buy some for cooking. All this lavender stuff you're making makes me hungry! You're lucky it's still hot where you are. This week it was 5C here! Brrrrr. Chilly!

I'm so adding this to my must try recipes! I am a sucker for lemon and lavender scents; I have a freshener from Yankee Candle in my bathroom thats lemon lavender and I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteyum! and such a pretty color! i recently made lavender facial. it's also not my favorite scent but it felt soothing!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find some dried lavender buds near me!
ReplyDeleteOh! that is what the lavender (Instagram pic) was for! it looks incredibly yummy! I also don't like to use lavender as home scent or lavender-ish perfumes but also admire lavender drinks and food :)
ReplyDeleteOh oh oooh! What a wonderful fresh drink! That colour already makes me longing for summer, I bet it tastes like a dream! I hopw your job interview went well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you:-) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious and refreshing!
