Lavender Lemonade to calm and nourish
Isn't nature the best? I've always loved lavender. It used to grow wild near out house along with freesia's and every spring the most incredible scent would fill the air on those bike rides to school.
I take my boys lavender hunting… we walk along the streets looking for lavender that grows wild or at least pokes out over peoples fences. We met a lovely greek lady up the road from our house who spotted us one day and now every time we pass she runs out with her scissors and cuts a small bunch for me and one for each of my boys.
My little boy came up with this idea on one of our walks..'What about lavender lemonade mummy??" Yes!! I replied - and I think it's beautiful. I hope you like it. It's a beautiful recipe to make with your kids and also to make lavender ice blocks to freeze for smoothies and juices.
Lavender is such a great reminder to me that everything is going to be alright - even on those days you don't think it will..
