I love Lemonade
I LOVE LEMONADE AND LEMONADE LOVES ME. There, I said it. I am a total sucker for lemonade. Like at the Wisconsin State Fair, I bypass the milk stand and bolt right for the lemonade. SO. GOOD. The best part is when I can taste the sugar crystals at the bottom. I also love that I can physically see the lemons being squeezed at the stand. That’s how you know the lemonade is really good…fresh lemon juice!No Sugar Lemonade
Linley and I decided that we wanted this lavender lemonade to be made with honey instead of refined sugar to lighten things up a bit and to add better flavor. Thus the “no sugar lemonade.” So? When in doubt, make a honey simple syrup. Of course, our honey simple syrup was infused with lavender to make lavender lemonade! Don’t let the words simple syrup scare you. Essentially all you have to do is bring honey and water to a boil and boom, you have a simple syrup.Simple Ingredients
- honey lavender simple syrup: think about making a double to triple batch to use in cocktails! It will last for a few weeks in your fridge.
- fresh lemon juice: the fresher the better! We recommend freshly squeezing if possible.
- water: water is going to help dilute things and take away the extreme sourness from the lemon juice.

I love this lemon , in my home town its a lavander farm , so i will get and make some lemonade😎https://913297rhunlupx1kt6uaim6q9f.hop.clickbank.net/
New York State has a state fair, in Syracuse!
My problem with lemonade that I don’t make myself is exactly the huge amount of sugar, and that ruins it for me. I prefer my lemonde to be tangy and refreshing, can’t wait to try this honey lavender recipe of yours, sounds lovely!
I hope you love this! It’s definitely more tangy than sweet and made with all-natural sugars!
So funny, I grew up in Wisconsin but never attended the state fair as a kid. I’ve actually been to the Minnesota State Fair more times than I have been to the Wisconsin State Fair (2 times vs 1). I am definitely a get in and get out of there type of “fair goer”. I am surprised your Minnesota native friends haven’t dragged you there every year! 🙂
YEAH WISCONSINNNNNNN!!! They always try and drag me there but I end up making up an excuse not to go 😀
This looks so lovely. Love lemonade. Perfect for summer.
I know Michigan has a state fair but I have never been before. Now you are making me curious about them haha. But that’s so true that I didn’t even realize other states had state fairs too. I feel like it must be a midwest thing.
Oh, yum! And wouldn’t this be dandy with a splash of (gluten-free) vodka for a summer-y cocktail!?
