Directions

1. Bring the lavender and two cups water to a boil in a small sauce pan.

4. Meanwhile squeeze the lemon juice into a tall glass pitcher.
5. Stir in the honey (unless you already added sugar earlier).
6. Stir in three cups water.
7. Once the basil has steeped, strain the mixture into the pitcher with the lemon juice.
8. Stir well and then taste.
