Lavender Lemonade

Take 1 heaping tablespoon dried culinary lavender, preferably "Provence" and steep for 20 minutes in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar. Pour into 1 quart of lemonade and garnish with sliced lemon and sprigs of fresh lavender. Serve over lots of ice. To transform this into a lavender libation with a little extra spirit add 1 oz of chilled vodka and a splash of club soda.
