Macadamia Free Blueberry Lavender Lemonade
This lemonade is the kind of drink that makes people stop mid-sip and ask what's in it. The combination of fresh blueberry purée, honey-sweetened lavender syrup, and bright squeezed lemon juice creates something that tastes genuinely special without requiring any fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. The lavender steeps right into the honey syrup, so every glass carries that soft floral note without being overpowering. Blending and straining the blueberries gives the drink a gorgeous deep purple hue and a fruity depth that store-bought lemonade simply can't touch. Everything here is naturally free of tree nuts — no swaps needed, no label-reading required, just clean, whole ingredients from start to finish. It's easy to scale up for a crowd, and the garnish of lemon slices, fresh berries, and lavender sprigs makes it look like something straight off a restaurant menu.
