Breastfeeding Friendly Classic Lavender Lemonade

There is something genuinely refreshing about a glass of lemonade that looks as beautiful as it tastes, and this floral twist delivers on both fronts. The lavender syrup is made by steeping dried culinary lavender in a simple sugar syrup, which gives the drink a soft, fragrant sweetness without any artificial flavors or additives you'd find in store-bought versions. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice keeps things bright and tangy, and you can easily dial the sweetness or tartness up or down to suit your taste — which matters a lot when your palate and cravings are shifting day to day. Staying well-hydrated is one of the most important things you can do while nursing, and having a drink this pretty in the fridge makes it a whole lot easier to reach for a glass. The ingredients are straightforward and recognizable — water, sugar, lemon, and a gentle herb — so there's nothing mysterious going into your body or your baby's. It comes together in under half an hour and keeps beautifully in the pitcher, ready to pour over ice whenever you need a moment to yourself.
