Method

Preparing the Lavender Syrup

  1. 1

    Combine Water and Sugar

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Lavender

    Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh lavender buds to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, ensuring the lavender infuses into the syrup.

  4. 4

    Strain the Syrup

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the lavender buds.

Assembling the Tonic

  1. 5

    Mix the Tonic

    In a glass, combine 2 tablespoons of the lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest.

  2. 6

    Add Club Soda

    Top off the glass with club soda and stir gently to combine.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish the tonic with lavender sprigs and lemon slices.
