lavender lemonade

I'm so excited to share a couple of recipes from my Birds of a Feather cohort, Jen Lauren Grant today!  She's amazing and I knew she'd come up with something yummy to share, but I didn't expect that she'd come up with TWO tasty treats for us all!  So today will be a double decker post day.  I'll be back later to share Jen's mango, avocado and black bean salad.  YAY!  For now, get lost checking out her blog and gorgeous photos while sipping on some sweet summertime lemonade!  xx- Sarah  {more after the jump}

Styled so beautifully! I love the contrast between those black and white straws and the pop of yellow of the lemon.

Thanks for sharing :)

Sounds refreshing! I just made rosemary lemonade the other day, and that was refreshing! I'm going to try the lavender. Also, I like that it calls for honey and not sugar.
Thanks!
