Ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Next, in a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 4 cups of water, and the lavender simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
Finally, add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir again. Serve in glasses with a slice of lemon and a sprig of lavender as a garnish. Enjoy!
