Very refreshing! Great flavors and easy to make. I have a Soda Stream machine, so just added the syrup to a bottle of the carbonated water. My dried lavender turned the syrup a light brown color and when I added blue dye, I got turquoise! But it still tasted great! Will do this again during summer when I have fresh lavender in the yard.Reply
