For a sweeter lemonade, increase the amount of sugar to taste. Conversely, for a tarter lemonade, reduce the sugar or add more lemon juice. Adjust the amount of lavender to suit your personal preference. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if desired, keeping in mind that lavender can become overpowering. Ensure you use culinary-grade dried lavender flowers, as other types may not be safe for consumption. For a more intense hibiscus flavor, use dried hibiscus flowers instead of petals. This lemonade can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
