Method
- Prepare the Lavender Syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Infuse the Flavor: Add the dried culinary lavender to the syrup, remove from heat, and let steep for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Strain the Syrup: Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar or bowl to remove the lavender buds.
- Juice the Lemons: Squeeze fresh lemons and strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.
- Combine the Bases: In a large pitcher, mix the cooled lavender syrup and fresh lemon juice.
- Assemble the Spritzer: Fill glasses with ice, pour 2 to 3 ounces of the lavender-lemon concentrate into each glass.
- Add the Bubbles: Top each glass with sparkling water or club soda and stir gently.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint or lavender buds, and serve immediately.
