Lavender Lemonade

1/4 cup dried lavender buds
6 3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup honey
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 pound dry ice

Steep the lavender buds in the water for at least 10 minutes. Strain out and discard the buds. Stir in the honey to dissolve while the water is still warm. Stir in the lemon juice. Add any more water if necessary to make 2 quarts. Add the dry ice. Serve after allowing to carbonate for about 15 minutes, or to store, wait for all the dry ice to dissolve, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Felix Felicis




1" piece of ginger root
pineapple, canned or fresh (if using fresh, peel and cut into pieces)
apples
1/3 cup lemon juice (or a peeled lemon to juice)
1 cup water
1/2 lb. dry ice

Makes about 2 liters

Put the lemon juice in the measuring bowl (or run a lemon through the juicer into the bowl). Juice the ginger with the first apple, then continue to juice apples until you have 4 cups of juice. Juice the pineapple (you can use the juice in the can too) until you have 8 cups of juice. Transfer to a serving bowl or to a larger container if necessary. Stir in the water and stir around to help diffuse any foam that may have formed from juicing. Add the dry ice. You can start serving it after 15 minutes (to make sure it's all carbonated). Or, you can take out the ice after 15 minutes (or wait for it to all dissolve) and transfer the potion to an airtight container for storage. Store in the fridge.
