🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, we'll make the lavender simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Then, add 1/4 cup of dried culinary lavender buds and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the lavender to infuse the sugar syrup and create a beautiful purple hue. Turn off the heat, and let it steep for at least another 30 minutes, or even better, an hour. After that, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the lavender buds. Set the syrup aside to cool completely. This step is super important for the best flavor!
- Now that you've prepped your simple syrup. Gently pour your favorite kombucha into a pitcher. A good-quality, slightly sweet kombucha will work best; I personally adore GT's Synergy brand; but the choice is yours. It's your drink after all! Next, add your cooled lavender simple syrup to the kombucha. Start with 1/4 cup and adjust to taste—I personally like a ratio of 1:4 of lavender syrup to kombucha but you do you!
- Time to chill! Add ice to the pitcher and let everything get acquainted. If you want to make it extra fancy (and I strongly recommend you do), add some fresh lavender sprigs and maybe even a few edible flowers for some extra oomph! Once the spritzer is well-chilled, pour it into glasses filled with ice. The lavender's gorgeous aroma will make this feel like a truly luxurious drink!
- Give it a final touch. Garnish each glass with a fresh lavender sprig, a slice of citrus fruit, or even some edible flowers. It's amazing how much a small garnish can elevate the overall experience! It's a great way to impress your friends or simply make your day a little bit more special. I especially love doing this before a relaxing evening with a good book and some chill music. You deserve some pampering, my friend! And now, enjoy your lovely and refreshing Lavender Kombucha Spritzer!
