Summer Lavender Lemonade

Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from two lemons, being sure to leave the white pith behind

In a large pot bring 5 1/2 cups water and zest to a boil over high heat

While the lemon zest and lavender are simmering, place a large strainer lined with cheesecloth or a damp paper towel over another pot or heat-proof bowl

Stir in honey until dissolved

Let lemonade cool completely, approximately 45 minutes
