To those enduring the extreme summer heat...I'm thinking of you. I can't imagine the heat and the humidity. Oh my.
May you stay cool and comfy in an air-conditioned room or under a shady tree...
perhaps take a dip in a pool...And pour yourself a refreshing iced tea or lavender lemonade!
Speaking of which, here is a yummy-sounding recipe via Mint Design.
Lavender Lemonade* 2 cups sugar
* 5 sprigs lavender (stems and buds), plus additional for garnish
* 2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 10 lemons)
* 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
Directions: In a large saucepan, bring one gallon of water and the sugar to a boil. Remove from heat; add 7 lavender sprigs and lemon and lime juices. Cool to room temperature, strain, and chill. Serve on ice, with additional lavender for garnish.
Wishing you all a fun-filled {cool} weekend!
