Enjoy this cool, refreshing lavender lemonade all year long! Light and delicate with a wonderful herbal finish!
After a long day of busyness, you need to refresh. Sometimes water just won’t do it, either. You don’t want to reach for a sugary soda, and if you have to swallow more unsweetened ice tea, you may just start screaming.
This is what I go through on a regular basis. The days when I want something light, refreshing, and just a touch of sweet. What to reach for?
After all, beverages like soda and sports drinks are loaded with sugar. A 12 ounce can of the popular “Coke Classic” has 40.5 grams of sugar. For those of you keeping track here, a single can of Coke has more carbs that most of us eat in 2 days time. Drinking those carbs can make them go down easily, too. Way to easy for most of us.
Great news, though! This refreshing lavender lemonade is sure to fit the bill for something light and sweet, without the carbs!
Lavender is a great herb to add to teas and lemonades. It gives a delightful herbal finish to it, and it is known for it’s relaxation properties. It also pairs wonderfully with the tangy tart of the lemon juice.
Lemon juice is thought to help your body cleanse and get rid of toxins. Some say that it helps your liver function better. Other benefits may include:
- It’s an excellent source of Vitamin C, as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
- Lemons contain pectin fiber which is very beneficial for colon health and also serves as a powerful antibacterial
- It aids digestion and encourages the production of bile
- May help prevent the growth and multiplication of pathogenic bacteria that cause infections and diseases
- May help fight against colds and flu, and aid in the body recovering.
- Aids in the production of digestive juices
- Lemon juice helps replenish body salts especially after a strenuous workout session
All that, in one delicious beverage? Sign me up! The best part is lavender lemonade can be made in larger batches, and sipped on whenever you need a refreshing lift. If you would like a sparkling lavender lemonade, simply replace the water with sparkling mineral water. It makes a wonderfully fizzy drink that can replace sodas for nearly anyone.
