LAVENDER AND MINT PUNCH

 

1 1/2 tablespoons dried English lavender (if you are buying this make

sure it's the edible type)

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 cup brewed tea

4 cups ginger ale, chilled

1 cup dark grape juice, chilled

1/3 cup loosely packed and finely shredded mint leaves

1 1/2 tablespoons super fine sugar

Ice cubes to serve

 

Place the lavender in a large heatproof jug and pour over the boiling

water. Set aside for 5 minutes.

 

Strain into a large serving bowl and discard the lavender (or add it

to your bath water later). Add the tea and set aside for 10 minutes

to cool. (It can be made ahead to this stage and refrigerated).

 

Add the ginger ale, grape juice, mint and sugar and stir until well

combined. Add ice cubes and serve immediately.
