Honey Lavender Lemonade.

While most recipes for lavender lemonade call for creating your own honey infusion, at Asheville Bee Charmer we have a secret ingredient that significantly simplifies the process: our own pre-made Lavender-Infused honey! While lavender enthusiasts will likely want to add additional lavender, starting with an already-prepped base makes for a truly simple syrup process. You can make the simple syrup in advance and store in the fridge, or make it on the spot, so long as you allow the syrup to cool before mixing everything up and adding ice.
