As some of your know (and mentioned in Recipe: Hearty Zucchini Bread),Theresa's entries to the Elizabethtown Fair 'placed well.'  Her rampant chocolate mint, has not only left it's mark in Pittsburgh, but also back in Lancaster County with a first place at the Elizabethtown Fair.  Anyone interested in some?  Theresa's still trying to give it away.  Maybe there would be more demand if we sell it ;-)

In a Facebook conversation regarding the mint, a request was made for the recipe for Lavender Lemonade.  For those not connected with Theresa via Facebook, here's the recipe.  Enjoy. 

Lavender Lemonade

Brew lavender tea using 2 t. dried lavender and 2 c. water.
Steep 5 min., strain out lavender and discard.
Cool tea.
Prepare frozen lemonade concentrate, replacing 1 part water with lavender tea.
Chill and serve.

Theresa's Disclaimer from her Facebook conversation: "I have never made lavender lemonade, but I've had it and it's good. I seem to be able to grow anything but lavender. I have made scented geranium lemonade with my (also) prize-winning scented geraniums :-). And today as I was simultaneously making homemade marinara sauce, breakfast casserole and supper (while keeping half an eye on 4 kids) I thought I should have my own reality tv show! People would tune in each week to see what insane endeavor will surely be the straw to break this camel's back."
