Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, dried lavender, and honey or agave syrup. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the blueberries have burst and the mixture is fragrant.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the blueberries to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and allow the blueberry-lavender syrup to cool.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled blueberry-lavender syrup with the lemon juice and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the spritzer over the ice. Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
