What you will need
This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
- 8 cups cold filtered water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberries
Gently muddle the fresh blueberries in the bottom of a large pitcher using a wooden spoon or muddler, pressing them just enough to crack the skins and release their vibrant purple juice.
Step 2: Add Lavender and Lemon
Add the dried culinary lavender buds and fresh lemon juice to the pitcher with the muddled blueberries. The lemon juice will help brighten the flavor and enhance the blue-purple color.
Step 3: Infuse and Strain
Pour the cold filtered water over the mixture and stir gently. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, then strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pitcher before serving over ice.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- dried culinary lavender → fresh lavender sprigs using about 3 to 4 small sprigs in place of dried
- fresh blueberries → frozen blueberries which release their color and juice very readily without muddling
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using non-culinary or craft lavender which may contain pesticides or other chemicals not safe for consumption
- Adding too much lavender which quickly overwhelms the entire drink with a soapy or perfume-like flavor
