# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Once you’ve removed your simple syrup from the heat, strain out all the little lavender bits with a fine strainer. Pour it into a jar and pop it in the fridge so it chills completely before you use it.
02 -
Grab a pitcher and gently press the mint leaves with a spoon or muddler till they give off that fresh smell. Mix in your lime juice and lavender syrup. Give everything a stir.
03 -
Pile some ice cubes into the pitcher (fill it up at least halfway). Pour in your sparkling water or club soda next. Stir just a little so you keep those fizzy bubbles lively.
04 -
Pour the drink into a glass that’s already got ice. If you like, dress it up with a few mint sprigs, a lime wedge, or some edible flowers on top for a special look.
# Additional Tips:
