Around this time of year, our lemon tree gives us a huge bounty of lemons. I love citrus so much. I can honestly say it’s one of the best things in life, and I can’t live without it. As you might have noticed, lemon juice is a key ingredient in a lot of my recipes.

I hate to waste anything and want to keep up with the lemon production of our tree, so for the past month I have been making blender lemonade daily. It’s so easy and quick to make. Plus it helps me keep my water intake up, because I drink at least a liter of it a day. When life gives you lemons (and a lot of them), make lemonade, right?

For this recipe, I am adding some lavender syrup to jazz it up a bit. Not a fan of lavender? Just skip it. You can drink it plain or get creative with other flavors like cucumber, hibiscus, vanilla, ginger or rosemary. The options are endless.
