Lavender lemonade: A refreshing twist on a Summer classic

Such a drink would not be out of place in a good restaurant, as it looks fabulous in the glass. The "wow" effect doesn't disappear after the first sip—lavender lemonade is simply delicious. It works excellently on hot days, quenching throat dryness. The addition of lavender makes an ordinary drink even more powerful.
