The restaurant at the Young Living Lavender Farm is now open for the season! We are so excited to have Lisa, our lovely restaurant manager, back this year. She is always cooking up something yummy and fresh. Today I had a bowl of amazing, straight from the farm chili and our popular Lavender Lemonade. It was fabulous!
We just got a great question about our lavender lemonade from Whitney in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. She says,
"I was at the Lavender Festival last summer and had a chance to have some of that amazing Lavender Lemonade you guys sell. If you can, I would love to have the recipe."
Well Whitney, I am happy to give you the recipe. We just served the Lavender Lemonade at our Easter event and it was a huge hit! I heard that some people were nervous to try it, but once they did they couldn't get enough. It is a great way to add something unique to the usual summer thirst quencher. And because the recipe calls for Blue Agave, an all-natural sweetener, it is healthy, too! If you want to try some before you make it, come on into the farm's restaurant; it is always on the menu.
Lavender Lemonade
7 lemons, peeled and juiced
2 limes, peeled and juiced
14 c. water
1 ½ c. Blue Agave
1 drop lavender essential oil
Mix all ingredients together and chill. Add more water or Blue Agave, depending on the size and tartness of the fruit.

Thank you so much for the Lavender Lemonade recipe. I can't wait to try it. That is one of the many great things about Young Living. Their willingness to share. I love the sense of community that I get out of being a member of Young Living Essential Oils. This blog page is great too, because Lavender is one of my favorite oils.
What a wonderful recipe to share! This gives me one more great reason to look forward to warmer weather so I can make lots of my own lavender lemonade!
Thank you so much for the Lavendar Lemonade recipe. I just love Blue Agave and use it for hot and iced tea and just about everything! May your 2008 restaurant season be rewarding in many ways. Thank you, Young Living for all you do to keep my family, especially my four beautiful granddaughters healthy! Blessings to all involved in Young Living and your wonderful contribution to making Earth a much better place!
The lavender lemonade sounds very refreshing! I would love to be entered in the Blue Agave giveaway, as I have not tried this sweetener. Thanks! ~ oillady@charter.net
Thank you for the recipe. I am anxious to try this--I never would have thought of putting lavender with lemonade!
I do have a question - in the recipe I understand the juice of the 7 lemons, are the lemons peeled because the juice is being extracted from a juicer in which the peeled lemons are placed? I've never peeled a lemon-is this similar to peeling a potato?
I feel embarrassed to ask these questions, they seem like basic things I should know.
The lavender lemonade sounds wonderful. I'll also try the lavender linen spray. The last time we had overnight guests, I put a bottle of Young Living Lavender oil on the nightstand in the guest room and suggested they sprinkle some lavender on a tissue and put it inside the pillowcase. They said they enjoyed staying at our spa.
Thank you for a wonderful recipe. My son's favorite drink is lemonade so I am excited to give it a try!
I'm so excited to hear that the restaurant is back! and thank you so much for the recipe. Lavender Lemonade is great!I love reading this blog.
The lavender lemonade is a great one! We made it all last summer and our friends all wanted to know what it was!

The food is great at the restaurant!!

Thank you for sharing the recipe with everyone. I love this lemonade and drink a lot in the warmer weather, which is nearly always because I live in Texas. I love to eat at the restaurant. Do you still have wolfberry cheesecake? Now that is some amazing bliss.
Yummy recipe! Can't wait to try it in the upcoming summertime heat!
I can't wait to try your Lavender Lemonade! I've been using Blue Agave lately and I love it...made my own corn muffin recipe with the Blue Agave as sweetener....mmmmmmm!
I love fresh lemonade (I make lemon water every morning - squeeze 1/2 lemon into a cup, add a pinch of salt, add hot water, sweeten with raw honey or blue agave to taste - it's half of the ayurvedic tradition of creating balance via the 6 tastes). Can't wait to try the lavender version!

Lavender lemonade?? Too cool!...and just in time for Spring. It's -10 today (Canada) and fresh YL lemonade simply sounds wonderful. Going to make some tonight to hurry Summer along!!
I had to peek at the Lavender Lemonade info; it had me intriged. Now I can go home and make it for our next event! We're doing a 24-hour walk for fighting cancer and raising awareness on essential oils are used in protocols to fight back on May 31st. I'm going to make Lavender Lemondade to share as our pick me up! How refreshing.
thank you so much!
I have been wanting to try the blue agave. What a perfect opportunity. : )
You make that are sound so wonderful that I wish I could come and visit this weekend. But, Minnesota is a bit far away with the price of gas now. I am very greatful for the Lavender lemonade, I will be picking up some limes at the store tomorrow so that I can try it.
How generous of you to share your recipe! Young Living continues to share, in a kind and gentle way, the sweetest things the earth has to offer us! My best wishes to you all for perfect health and prosperity always and in all ways...
Thankyou immensely for sharing the recipe. I look forward to making it for my coworkers and showing yet another use for wonderful lavender oil!
Thanks for the great recipe, when
it finally warms up here in the
Midwest, I am really anxious to give it a try. How wonderful to
have this great site and share the
great tips and treats. Thanks
again, Judy Springer spiritofwellness@gmail.com
Sounds like a great recipe. Can't wait to try it. Would love to see other recipes as well
Lavender lemonade would be great to serve at an "oils party". Do you have a recipe for a healthy lavender cookie to go with it?
I can hardly wait to visit the farm in June. I want to leave NOW after seeing this recipe. Blue Agave makes the life of this diabetic much sweeter. It's low glycemic level means I can put a bit on my morning cereal. The Farm seems like a great place to work. It will be grand fun meeting as many as I can. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the recipe. I myself, have just finished a collection of recipes, many of which incorporate the Young Living Oils. It is a great success like everything is with Young Living. I am just completing my ISAP-Integrated Science Aromatic Practitioner. It is the most rewarding choice I have made in my life and I am 61. Because I always incorporate some form of nutrition involving essential oils, your lemonade recipe has come just at the right time.
thank you for the lavender lemonade recipe. I'm exighted to try it. my daughter has a lemonaid stand in the summer.this might be the secret weopon to the stands:)
what another great way to get the oils in you. thanks.
God Bless

Thanks for sharing the lemonade recipe now how about the wolfberry cheesecake recipe? I'd love to try that!
Thank you for the Lavender lemonade recipe. I look forward to trying this. I drink a lot of lemonade in the summer, I find it refreshing and it quenches the thirst when its hot. I love lavender for a lot of things. It relaxes me when I'm tierd and puts me in a state of mind that I just just sit back and forget any problems from a hard days work load. I like in my bath, shower jels, and soaps.
I look forward to tasting it in my lemondade. I will definitly pass this onto my friends and family.
We will be a lavender family.
Thank You,

I haven't tried Blue Agave so will have to get on the band wagon.Thanks for the wonderful recipes and suggestions.
Thank you for the lemonade recipe. I have a question. Why are the lemons pealed first and then not used? I love using agave and am so grateful that we have it. Looking forward to making my first pitcher of Lavender lemonade. I loved the wolfberry pie. Are they still making it? Lavender Oil, is one that I cannot be without. It is one of my favorites.

I can't wait to make this lemonade at home! I am going to start to have meetings in my home where we discuss the wonderful benefits of Young Living's products with people who are intersted in hearing and learning about YL. I have decided that The Lavendar Lemonade is what I am going to serve at those meetings! What a great way to introduce our products to people.
Thank you so much for sharing,

I am looking forward to trying the Lavender Lemonade when I attend the convention in June. I need the lemon and the lavender for their anti-tumoral properties. Many thanks for the recipe. I add a drop of lemon essential oil too.
When I first tried Lavender Lemonaid at the farm I was amazed to learn that there was only one drop of Lavender Oil in a whole gallon of Lemonaid! The recipe for this, as well as Wolfberry Cheesecake and lots of other yummy recipes are in the first edition of the Young Living Cookbook, along with a Lemon Tea Cookie recipe that I'll bet you could add a drop of Lavender Oil to for Lavender/Lemon Cookies. (Item # 3947.) The second cookbook is great, too--it has my recipe for Wolfberry Coleslaw in it! (#4369.) Margaret Blackburn
YUM! Don't usually like lemonade. but this recipe is one I am anxious to try. There are so many uses for Blue Agave and I am always looking for more to get friends and family off the sugar kick. Sure wish I lived closer to visit the restaurant!

I would love to see the recipe for the Blue Corn Muffins! Is it available? For those of us not out in the area of the restaurant....can we hope for a recipe book one day? Thanks! Desiree
I am the April 3, anonymous and I realized that you would have no way of contacting me should I be lucky enough to win the 8 oz. agave giveaway. (I had trouble trying to record my name) So, I am leaving my e-mail address: babaugher@comcast.net. Thank you. A believer in Pennsylvania!
i have made lavendar lemonade in the past, using not so good oils and it has always tasted great, but since then i tried making it the other day and wow, how delicious it is using the youngliving oil and my fresh lemons from my tree. its wonderful. Gabrielle LeCompte
Thank you so much for sharing the Lavender Lemonade recipe. I love preparing healthy drinks at home, I can't wait to try this recipe. This is a great idea to share essential oils with friends and family especially during the summer months when most people entertain a lot. Thank you again, what a great idea!
That lavender lemonade recipe sounds delicious!
My kids will love trying it out. Thank you so much for sharing it.
