I am absolutely enamoured with this lavender lemonade.

Looking at that delicate pink hue, it's beautiful isn't it? 

It's such a calming and comforting shade of pink. -- Kind of  like the inside of a polished seashell.  You know, those big ones you hold up to your ear and you're supposed to hear the ocean.

You'll fall in love with Lavender Lemonade's beautiful and calming shade of pink, and its fragrant floral flavor.

On a recent mountain cabin get-away girls' weekend with one of my friends, we went poking around some shops in a little mountain town.  I stumbled across a section in the back corner of one of these shops dedicated to lavender products from Mountain Farm, a lavender (and blueberry and dairy goat) farm in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina.

Since many of the products had to do with cooking, I of course "got stuck" in this corner for quite some time. -- Reading each and every product label, my mind swirling with ideas.

I had never cooked with lavender. -- And I was intrigued.

I swear I could have bought every product in that section of the store.  Settling on just three, I think I showed pretty good restraint on my part, if I do say so myself.

One of my selections was this A Taste of Lavender cookbook from Mountain Farm, with a little packet of dried lavender in the back.

As soon as I got home I gave Mountain Farm's lavender lemonade recipe a try.

And oh my, I love it.

Lemonade infused with the florally fragrant taste of lavender is fabulous.  But the taste's not too much lavender, so it's overpowering.  It was just right to me.

Over ice, a tall glass of lavender lemonade is a perfectly refreshing drink on a hot summer day.  Yup, I'll be making lavender lemonade again ... for sure.
