2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
Lavender Lemonade Fizz
1 cup lavender-infused simple syrup
1 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups sparkling water

Instructions
Make the lavender-infused simple syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes. Then strain out the lavender flowers and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Mix the lemonade base: In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of the cooled lavender-infused simple syrup with 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Stir well to blend the flavors thoroughly.
Prepare serving glasses: Fill glasses with ice cubes to chill.
Assemble the drinks: Pour the lavender lemonade mixture over the ice in each glass, then top off with sparkling water to add fizz. Stir gently to combine all elements evenly without losing the carbonation.
Garnish and serve: Add fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices to each glass for an aromatic and attractive presentation. Serve immediately while chilled to enjoy the floral and citrus notes at their best.
