In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lavender buds.

Bring sugar mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to boil until sugar is completely dissolved, about two minutes.

Lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Then, remove from heat and allow the mixture to seep for at least two hours. Using a sieve, strain your lavender mixture and reserve the syrup.

Meanwhile, juice lemons until you have 1 cup of fresh juice.

In a pitcher, mix your fresh lemon juice, lavender syrup, and 6 cups of water.

Create a sugar rim for your glasses but rubbing a cut lemon along the edge of the glass. Dip the glass upside down in a shallow bowl of sugar.

Serve lemonade chilled or over ice.
