Violet Lemonade 🔮
the original recipe (press the link)
Hello my witchy friends! Today we’re going to make Violet Lemonade 🌱, I wanted to do this recipe before summer ends and before the harvest season 🌾, so today is a couple days before Lammas starts (August 1st, mark your calendar!)
- Ingredients
^Lemonade
• 8 cups of water
• 1-1 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1-1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon rosewater (optional)
• 2 cups violet tea
^Violet Tea
2 cups violets flowers only (lightly packed into a pint jar or measuring cup)
- Directions:
^making the violet tea
* Pour boiling water into your jar of violets until it is full, making sure to gently press on the violets to release any air bubbles. Cover your jar and keep it out of bright sunlight for about 24 hours. The color of the violet tea will look sapphire blue, not purple.
* Line a colander with a paper towel or coffee filter and strain the violet tea, squeezing out the flowers to get as much color out as possible. If necessary, add enough water to your tea so that the mixture equals 2 cups.
^Making the lemonade
* In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the water and the sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool completely.
* In a large pitcher, combine the remaining 6 cups of water, the sugar syrup, lemon juice and rosewater, if desired. Then stir in the violet tea (while stirring you can add a intention like “this violet lemonade is going to bring me happiness”)
* Chill completely and serve over ice.
Enjoy luv <3
