Yuzu Selection Tips: Fresh yuzu juice provides the most authentic flavor – look for it in Asian markets or order online, though bottled yuzu juice works well if fresh unavailable. Lavender Guidelines: Use only culinary-grade dried lavender buds – avoid potpourri or cosmetic varieties which may contain additives, and strain thoroughly to prevent bitter flavors. Sweetener Benefits: Allulose dissolves easily in cold liquids and provides clean sweetness without competing with delicate citrus and floral notes – it won’t crystallize or settle like other sweeteners. Make-Ahead Instructions: Lavender syrup keeps refrigerated up to 2 weeks – make double batches for easy lemonade assembly, and fresh lemonade base stays optimal up to 3 days covered in refrigerator. Serving Suggestions: Serve over ice with frozen lemon wheels for slower dilution, or chill glasses in freezer 15 minutes before serving for extra refreshment. Storage Guidelines: Store unused portions in glass containers to prevent flavor absorption, and shake or stir before serving as separation is natural. Flavor Balance: Start with less lavender syrup and adjust to taste – floral flavors can quickly overwhelm citrus, and different lavender varieties have varying intensity levels.
