How do you get it to look this beautiful lavender color?
I tried this and loved it. I also added a touch of fresh blueberry juice to give it a more lavender color. Thank you for this recipe even my teenagers loved it.
The lavender I grow in my garden is not for consumption, so is a lot other lavender around. Where can I find the ones that’s suitable for consumption?

Hello Annette. You can purchase dried lavender here: Organic Dried Lavender Flowers
I’m a diabetic..#2
How would that honey affect me…?
Does anyone have any recommendations…TIA
You could omit the honey and just sweeten with stevia
Was wondering the same thing. Too much honey for a diabetic.
I’m highly allergic to honey. Can I sub sugar for honey and how much should I use in comparison to the amount of honey?
I prefer Swerve in all my baking and sugar substitute. No artificial aftertaste.
I prefer using “Swerve” as a sugar substitute. It taste so much better than Stevia. I bake alot and am a diabetic so I did a lot of taste testing and found this to be a winner.
Lovely. Very lavender forward. I made it with monk fruit sugar since I can’t have sugar, and despite the bitter profile from that, the flavors were awesome. You folks also have a version of this with lime juice, which I’ll try next. To cut the bitterness, I poured a glass 1/2 full with this potion, added almost another 1/2 of seltzer and topped it off with some Hendrick’s gin. That will definitely sustain me this summah!!! Oh, and the color is fantastic. Thankfully, I had the culinary lavender buds at the ready.
