Ingredients:

8 cups filtered water

2 tsp powdered stevia

1/8 cup dried lavender (or 1/4 cup fresh lavender flowers)

1 cup fresh lemon juice

lemon slices or blueberries (optional)

Combine 4 cups of water, stevia, lavender, and lemon zest in a pan.  Bring to a boil and simmer until water turns a light shade of pink – about 10 minutes.  Strain sauce and discard flowers.  Pour into a pitcher and add the remaining water.  Serve over ice with lemon slices, blueberries, or a sprig of fresh lavender.
