Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can thai coconut milk
- 1 can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 lemons, freshly squeezed
- 2 cups (473 ml/16 fl oz) water
- 1 cup (200 g/7 oz) sugar
- 2 tsp dried lavender
- 2 drops purple food coloring
Instructions
- Lavender Syrup Creation: Gently heat water, sugar, and dried lavender in a saucepan, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely while extracting the herb’s delicate floral essence.
- Syrup Preparation: Cool the infused syrup, letting the lavender steep to intensify its aromatic profile, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the flower fragments.
- Lemonade Blending: Whisk coconut milk, lemonade concentrate, fresh lemon juice, and water in a spacious pitcher until thoroughly integrated, creating a smooth, creamy base.
- Flavor Fusion: Incorporate the strained lavender syrup into the lemonade mixture, stirring gently to distribute the floral notes and create a harmonious flavor profile.
- Final Touches: Optional color enhancement can be achieved with a few drops of purple food coloring, then adjust sweetness and tartness to personal preference by modifying water or sugar levels.
- Serving Preparation: Vigorously stir the lemonade just before serving to ensure all ingredients are perfectly combined, resulting in a refreshing and aromatic beverage that tantalizes the senses.
Notes
- Steep with Care: Let lavender infuse slowly to extract maximum flavor without turning bitter or overpowering the delicate lemonade base.
- Strain Thoroughly: Use a fine-mesh sieve to remove lavender buds completely, ensuring a smooth, debris-free beverage with clean taste.
- Balance Flavor Carefully: Adjust sweetness and acidity gradually, tasting as you mix to achieve the perfect harmony between coconut, lavender, and lemon notes.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerate the lemonade for at least an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop a more refined, integrated taste profile.
