2 cupswater

5 Tbspsugar

9 Tbsplemon juice

1 ½ cupswater

cold

Instructions

For the tea

Step 1

Place blossoms in a large, heat-safe container and set aside. Bring ½ cup water to a boil in a small pot, pour over the flowers, and stir.

Step 2

Cover the container and let steep overnight in the fridge. After at least 12 hours, use a fine strainer to remove plant matter and set tea aside. (At this point, the tea should be a very pale pink or peach color.)

For the lemonade

Step 3

Cut and squeeze the lemons, making sure to remove seeds, and add the juice to the redbud tea. (The mixture will turn a brighter shade of pink.)

Step 4

Combine with remaining 1½ cups cold water. Add the sugar (or other sweetener of choice), stir to dissolve, taste, and add more sugar if desired.
