Pink Lavender Punch
Description
Submitted by a reader who liked the Herb Gardening for Beginners article, this fragrant pink punch is also good, she says, with vodka! Without, it's a great drink for both grown-ups and kids.
Ingredients
- 5 c water, divided in half
- 2 c sugar
- 1⁄2 c frozen or fresh hulled strawberries
- 1⁄4 c fresh lavender flowers, chopped
- 2 1⁄4 c fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a saucepan, blend 2 1/2 cups of the water, 1 1/2 cups of the sugar, and the strawberries. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Lower heat. Simmer 5 minutes to extract pink from strawberries. Remove from the heat.
Stir in lavender flowers. Cover and cool.
Strain cooled liquid into a large pitcher, gently pressing juice from strawberries. Add remaining 2 1/2 cups water and the lemon juice. Stir well.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Add ice cubes. Garnish with lavender flowers.
