Lavender Lemonade to chill you out and calm you down

In the middle of a hot summer, on of the best ways to cool down and refresh yourself is with an ice-cold glass of lemonade. But, what if your lemonade could be more than just refreshing?

Adding some lavender to your lemonade can provide many healthy benefits… especially when you choose to skip the sugar.

We absolutely love this recipe. Its the perfect combination of refreshing without the overly sweet or harshness that I often find in store-bought and other homemade options. Of course, being essential oil enthusiasts, we couldn't help ourself, and attempted using oils in with our homemade lemonade. It was phenomenal!! Adding Lemon Vitality to lemonade was nothing short of incredible. That delicious citrus lemon flavor, but rounded without the harshness that comes from lemon juice.

Safety Tips for Using Essential Oils in Drinks:

Vitality essenital oils in drinks can have benefits, as long as safety precautions are taken. Please, never add essential oils to water. There have been few safety studies, but most indicate that essential oils (especially citrus oils) may strip mucous membranes, which won't be comfortable for your esophagus and digestive tract over time. This is why I specifically recommend adding the essential oils to something that can help dilute them first before adding water (remember… oils and water don't mix)… typically I use honey.

Essential oils we use in lemonades:

I do add some Lemon Vitality essential oil to our homemade lemonade. It has a much softer flavor than lemon juice, and is much safer on your teeth. Lemon Vitality is excellent for helping support your digestive and immune systems, which helps add to the benefits of drinking it in your lemonade.

Lavender Vitality is known for helping support our cardiovascular and nervous systems. Supporting your blood vessels and nerves can go a long way to helping reduce nervous tension and allow you to relax easier… plus its a great addition to kick any monotony… sometimes little changes like adding a couple drops of lavender to lemonade can be a lot of fun.

Peppermint Vitality is a lot of fun to add too. It brings a cooling and energizing minty flavor to your lemonade. Peppermint also helps support your digestive, nervous, and muscular skeletal systems, making it a healthy additive as well to go with the fun flavor.

Where to Buy High-Quality Essential Oils

Don't be fooled into purchasing substandard, fake, or counterfeit essential oils using clever marketing and loose labeling laws. Be sure you know about the 10 Dirty Little Secrets of the essential oil industry so you can make the best choice for your needs for in-depth information about why quality matters, how not to be fooled, and what to look for

Warning: DO NOT purchase your oils through Amazon, eBay, Walmart, or similar websites with 3rd party sellers! Many of those oils are counterfeit and may cause health ailments, skin reactions, headaches, and a lot of misery. Most reputable essential oil brands do not allow their oils to be purchased there, so when you do find them (even if the seller appears to be legitimate), they're often fake.

If you're ready to start your essential oil journey, this is our favorite place to purchase from because of their transparency and dedication to doing what is right for their customers and not compromising on their integrity to provide industry-setting quality standards throughout all their products.
