I've been needing to make a lavender beverage for a long while. I requested this arrangement of organic herbs and I knew precisely what I would do with the lavender – make Vanilla Lavender Limeade.
You get a major pack of 2 measures of every one of these herbs, and they are so exquisite. There's so much you can do with them! My next undertaking is the rosebuds – stay tuned!
I squeezed 6 limes and 1 lemon, and after that consolidated that with a straightforward syrup I made on the stove. I included about a teaspoon of vanilla concentrate to the straightforward syrup as it achieved a bubble.
My fine work strainer was not a single where in sight, so I utilized a paper towel and a colander and poured some bubbling water over the lavender to make lavender water. It turns out a light yellow shading. At that point, I included 3 drops of neon purple nourishment shading to the limeade a lavender shading. You can absolutely skirt this progression, however I thought it was so lovely.
