This floral, herb-forward lemonade is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like a special occasion. A homemade lavender syrup — steeped from dried culinary lavender and sweetened with agave — gives the base a gorgeous soft purple hue and a delicate floral depth you simply cannot get from a bottle. Fresh mint leaves are bruised right in the pitcher, releasing their oils into the liquid for a cooling, aromatic layer that plays beautifully against the bright tartness of real squeezed lemon juice. The whole thing comes together without any animal-derived ingredients, making it a naturally plant-based pour that fits effortlessly into a pescatarian lifestyle. It's endlessly adjustable too — a little more lemon if you like it sharp, a splash more water if you want it lighter. Poured over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon wheel, it looks stunning on a table and tastes even better than it looks.

Combine 1 cup water, the agave syrup, and dried lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the agave dissolves. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from the heat and let steep for 20 minutes, until the syrup is fragrant and a soft purple-gray color.
Pour the lavender syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the lavender gently to extract the liquid. Discard the spent lavender.
