Pitcher Blueberry Lavender Lemonade

If you are looking for something elegant, refreshing and delicious to serve at your next Summer gathering, I have the perfect recipe for you!  It is a lovely blueberry lavender lemonade that is simple to make, yet so good and it always looks pretty thanks to the color from the blueberries.  The lavender used in it gives it an aromatic relaxing scent, and the sweet blueberries are perfect with the tart lemon.  Not only that the blueberries add antioxidants, and the lemon juice helps cleanse your body so it is a win all around!  Give this a try the next time you are in the mood for a classy non-alcoholic drink.
