Ingredients

1 1/2 cups lilac sugar
8 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups lemon juice (8 lemons)
ice, for serving
lemon slices, for garnish
lilac blossoms, for garnish

Instructions

Add the sugar and water to a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, whisk or stir the sugar into the water until the sugar is completely dissolved. The water does not need to come to a boil! The heat from the burner will encourage the sugar to dissolve completely rather than just whisking the sugar into cold water. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to cool.
In the meantime, juice the lemons and strain the juice through a cheesecloth or a sieve to remove the pulp and any seeds. Transfer the lemon juice to a large pitcher.
Add the lilac sugar and water mixture and stir well to combine. Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours.
Before serving, add thin lemon slices, ice, and a bunch or two of washed lilac blossoms. Serve and enjoy!
