Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the lavender syrup and the lemon juice in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish the drink right before dinner. It keeps the flavor fresh and saves time later.

Is lavender safe for kids?

Culinary lavender in small amounts is safe for children. Use culinary-grade lavender and do not overdo the syrup. Start with a little and taste. If anyone in your family has allergies or sensitivities, check with a pediatrician.

How sweet should the drink be?

Sweetness is personal. Start with the 2 tablespoons of honey or agave and then taste. If it needs more, add by teaspoons. The coconut and lemon balance each other, so a lightly sweet drink is often best.

Can I use store-bought lavender syrup?

Yes. Store-bought syrup works well. If you use that, taste first because some syrups are sweeter than homemade. Adjust the honey accordingly.

What if the coconut milk separates?

Stir or whisk the coconut milk until it blends smooth. If the can is cold, warm the coconut milk slightly in a bowl of warm water or leave it at room temperature for a few minutes. Avoid heating the final drink.
