INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
2 1/2 oz of lavender simple syrup
4-5 of fresh mint leaves + a sprig to serve
3 1/2 oz of club soda
1 oz lime juice
LAVENDER SIMPLE SYRUP
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
2 sprigs fresh lavender
***You can also make this with store-bought simple syrup (instructions below)
STEPS
Muddle the fresh blueberries and mint leaves together in a tall glass.
Once muddled add ice to the glass, followed by the lavender simple syrup, lime juice, and soda. Stir well.
Serve with an additional sprig of mint.
LAVENDER SIMPLE SYRUP
Place the sugar, water, and lavender in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until the sugar dissolves, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside. Let it cool completely. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender. Store in a sealed container in the fridge!
***Alternatively, if you already have store-bought simple syrup, pour the simple syrup into a glass then add lavender. Let the two infuse for at least 30minutes before straining and serving.
