# How to Make It:
01 -
After pouring your drink into ice-filled glasses, toss in a sprig of mint, drop in a lime wedge, and add some pretty edible flowers if you’ve got ‘em.
02 -
Give those mint leaves a gentle muddle in a big pitcher so they smell fresh. Now add the lime juice and lavender syrup. Pile in lots of ice, then pour in your soda or sparkling water. Stir gently so your bubbles stick around.
03 -
Put water, sugar, and dried lavender into a little pot. Warm it up on medium, stirring till the sugar vanishes. Let it barely simmer, then turn off the heat. Steep for 5 minutes, then strain out the bits and let the syrup cool right down before using.
# Additional Tips:

If you’re short on time, just go with a good bottled lavender syrup for loads of flavor and none of the fuss.
