Q: Where do you find your lavender?

I always use lavender from Harney & Sons . It has the best balance of flavor and color that I've tried without being soapy. Flavor and strength can vary depending on the brand, so if your lemonade is more floral than you'd like, it may be the brand of lavender you used.
