Fish Free Vegan Bright Lavender Lemonade with Fresh Mint

This floral, refreshing drink is the kind of thing that makes a regular afternoon feel like a special occasion. The lavender syrup is made from scratch by steeping dried culinary lavender in agave, giving it a gorgeous soft purple-gray hue and a delicate fragrance that pairs beautifully with bright, zippy lemon juice. Bruising fresh mint leaves directly in the pitcher is a clever little technique that pulls out maximum flavor without any muddling equipment — just a spoon and a little elbow grease. Every single ingredient here is entirely plant-based, so there's nothing to second-guess and no hidden animal-derived additives to hunt down on a label. The result is a pitcher of something that looks stunning over ice, especially with a few lemon slices and a sprig of mint tucked in for good measure. It's equally at home at a backyard gathering or a quiet solo lunch, and the recipe is easy enough to scale up for a crowd.
