1 tsp culinary lavender
1 1/4 cups water, divided
3 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1) Bring sugar, lavender and 1/4 cup water to boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and steep for at least 30 minutes.
2) Combine remaining water with lemon juice. Strain lavender from sugar syrup. Add syrup to lemon water and mix well.
3) Evenly distribute into popsicle molds, filling each 3/4 full. Drop several blueberries into each mold, until the liquid reaches the top. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 8 hours.
Review: Of course, the picture that accompanied this recipe had blueberries distributed throughout the entire popsicle - defying the laws of physics. Luckily, the blueberries seem to be just decorations since the lavender lemonade was so tasty it didn't need the blueberries! I adore this recipe and am going to quickly eat up all 7 (Mike broke one of the molds) popsicles!
