# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
After you strain out the lavender and bits using a mesh strainer, let the syrup sit until it’s room temp before stashing it away. Start by putting water, sugar, and dried lavender in a tiny pot. Warm on medium and stir now and then until it all melts together. Let it gently boil for a little while, then pull off heat and let it hang out for around 5 minutes.
02 -
Drop mint leaves in a big pitcher and squish them lightly with a spoon or muddler. This helps the minty flavor come out, but don’t mash ‘em too hard. Tip in your lime juice and whatever lavender syrup you picked, then stir it up.
03 -
Toss ice to about halfway in the pitcher, then pour in sparkling water or soda. Swirl it gently so you hang onto those bubbles.
04 -
Ladle your drink into glasses packed with ice cubes. Top each one with a pop of mint, a wedge or round of lime, and some edible flowers if you like how they look.
