Rhuby-Lavender Lemonade - lemons

Method

• Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from two lemons.
• Squeeze the juice from the 4 lemons (about 2/3 cup juice) and set aside; be sure to strain in case any seeds got in.
• Add 5 1/2 cups of water and the lemon zest to a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Stir in the lavender.
• Partially cover the pot and lower the heat. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl. Strain the liquid over the sieve, pressing on the herbs to extract all the liquid.

• Fill 4 glasses with ice.
• Add 1 1/2 ounces Rhubarb Tea to each glass.
