Strawberry Lavender Lemonade

This Strawberry Lavender Lemonade is a refreshing delicious drink which is perfect for hot summer days!

This post was originally published in July 2015. I have taken and uploaded new photos while  the recipe and blog post itself remain the same. 

I’ve got bad news, my friends!

I’ve been cooking for the last two weeks too much. Don’t be surprised, please – I’ll explain…

Not only have I cooked quite often due to some free time and great natural light, but also I’ve taken all these pictures. Surprisingly, most of them turned out to be awesome good enough (I’m still a humble guy, remember?). And this is bad, so bad.

Sounds confusing, eh?

Basically, I post between 10 to 14 recipes every month. I’ve already sorted out and edited the pictures for recipes taken in June, and that’s quite an impressive number, something like 10 or so. Plus, these recent photographs for another 10 or so recipes.

Importantly, most of them are perfectly seasonal. Sure, I can put off posting a few recipes up to September or even October since they are not really associated  only with summer. But what am I going to do with the other images? Lemonade, cold coffee, and sorbet, perhaps, not the best things to publish in Christmas.

Oh boy.

In fact, If I stop cooking and photographing, I would have the material  for the next month and a half.

But whom am I kidding? I’m not able to stop. I haven’t incorporated a lot of seasonal stuff in my salads (salads with apricots and cherries to be posted soon!). I haven’t shown you two other dessert soups yet, and I’m already thinking about the next step. Plus, you anticipate specific examples of using alcoholic dressings in salads. Believe me, I’ve planned to make so many variations that there’s a risk to become addicted!

And it’s only July. There’s the season of melons and watermelons coming. And many other good summer things.

What am I going to do, what am I going to do (panicky)…?

While I’m looking for a solution, there’s one simple recipe. Enjoy this Strawberry Lavender Lemonade while it’s still hot outside!

And sorry about this lavender.

    Somehow I missed this post back when you first published it. Glad you reposted it here, though! You know how I feel about lavender, but I’m intrigued with this recipe. I love flavored lemonades, and this one does sound quite tasty for a hot summer day!

    OK, now I’m jealous. I wish I had recipes for the next month and a half…if I stop I could barely make it to the end of the week. UGH!
    BTW don’t apologize for using lavender, we need innovators like yourself in the food blogging world!

    You are for sure ahead of the games!!! We had guests a couple of weeks ago and missed one post because of that. We live by the day, kind of.
    So, unless you are concern about the true seasonality of your ingredients, then stop now and start making hot pies. Otherwise you can find strawberries all year round anyway. Maybe I would alter the pictures to add Santa and some snow, instead of the lavender ;)

I wouldn’t mind to have a large pitcher of this summer beauty!! ;-)

    Yay!! The lavender is back!! LOL! This looks so refreshing and delicious. I never think about adding other fruit to lemonade but the addition of fresh strawberries is a great idea. Just picked up some organic strawberries today so going to make a big pitcher of this to enjoy all weekend. :)
