Ingredients
violet infusion
- 2 cups freshly picked violets, gently rinsed
- water
lemonade
- 1 qt water
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp sugar, or more to taste
Instructions
to make the violet infusion
- Put freshly picked violet flowers (no stems or leaves) into a stainless steel saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring up to a simmer and simmer for a few minutes until the water is a vivd blue. Strain the flowers out. Chill your infusion. Note: you can also do this by pouring boiling water over the flowers in a mason jar. It will take longer for the violets to infuse.
- Mix the lemon juice with the sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Add to the water and taste to adjust it to your liking. Add half the violet infusion to the lemonade and watch it change to a vibrant pink! You can add more of the infusion if you like, or save the rest for a second batch.
- Chill the lemonade (without ice) until cold. Serve over ice.
