  2. After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and cover it to let the lavender steep for 15 to 20 minutes until the water has deepened to a light purple hue.
  3. Take a fine mesh strainer and strain the lavender water into a pitcher. Discard the leftover lavender flowers.
  4. In the pitcher with lavender water, add 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and ½ cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves in the warm liquid.
