1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
2
Juice the Citrus
Cut the lemon and lime in half. Squeeze the juice from both fruits into a measuring cup, ensuring to remove any seeds. You should have about 2 tablespoons of juice from each.
3
Infuse the Lavender
In a small pot, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the dried lavender. Remove from heat and let it steep for about 10 minutes. Strain the lavender infusion into a separate container, discarding the lavender flowers.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the cucumber slices, lemon juice, lime juice, and lavender infusion. Stir gently to mix.
5
Add Soda Water
Pour in the soda water and stir gently to combine. Taste the mixture and add honey or agave syrup as desired.

6
Serve Chilled
Fill glasses with ice and pour the refresher over the ice. Garnish with additional cucumber slices or a sprig of lavender if desired. Serve immediately.
