Lemon Lavender Soda
pick around five or six lavender flowers, leaving a few inches of stem with leaves on each.
make a simple syrup by bringing two cups of water to a boil, and adding 1/2 cup of honey. Taste, to see if you want it sweeter and if you do add more honey.
Add the lavender flowers and the zest of half a lemon to the syrup, turn off the heat. Let the flowers steep for 10-20 minutes, depending on how floral you want your soda. Strain.
Pour one or two inches of the syrup into a glass, add ice, club soda, and the juice of at least half a lemon.
Enjoy! (the syrup may be refrigerated for up to a week if it lasts that long)
