# What You'll Need:

→ Lavender Syrup

01 - 1/2 cup water
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender

→ Lemonade

04 - 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 4 lemons)
05 - 1/2 cup cold water
06 - 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup

→ For Serving

07 - 1 cup ice cubes
08 - 1 1/2 cups chilled sparkling wine or prosecco
09 - Lemon slices for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and dried lavender. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain mixture through fine mesh to remove lavender solids and let syrup cool to room temperature.
02 - In a pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water, and honey or agave syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and sweetener is fully dissolved.
03 - Fill four glasses with ice cubes. Add 2 tablespoons lavender syrup and 1/4 cup lemonade base to each glass.
04 - Pour approximately 1/3 cup chilled sparkling wine or prosecco into each glass. Stir gently to combine all components without over-mixing.
05 - Garnish each glass with lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs if desired. Serve immediately while beverage is properly chilled.
