lavender lemonade

It is a beautiful snowy day. I was thinking wouldn't it be a great day to practice making something fun with lavender... So how about some lavender lemonade. It isn't something that you think about when you are in the middle of winter... But why not! This field will be where the plants will be in the spring!  2500 plants.  YIPPEE!

1. Bring 2 cups water and sugar to a boil. Remove from the heat; add lavender. Cover and let stand for 2-4 hours.
2. Strain, discarding lavender. Stir in lemon juice, vanilla and remaining water. Chill; serve over ice

REMEBER to use a culinary lavender NOT GROSSO--- GROSSO would not taste good!
