Time 15m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lavender blossoms or 1 tablespoon dried lavender blossoms
6 cups boiling water
1 liter ginger ale, chilled
1 cup purple grape juice
mint leaf ice cube
thinly sliced orange (or lemons)
lavender flowers
mint sprig

Steps:

  • MINT LEAF ICE CUBES: To make the mint leaf ice cubes, place one whole mint leaf in each ice cube tray compartment. Fill the tray with water and freeze until completely solid.
  • TEA/PUNCH: Place the fresh mint leaves and lavender in a teapot, pour the boiling water over the leaves and brew for 10 minutes. Allow tea to cool completely.
  • Strain the tea and add the ginger ale, grape juice and ice cubes. *Important*: Add the ginger ale just before serving. If you add it too early before serving, the ginger ale will loose its fizz.
  • If serving in a punch bowl, float lavender buds and mint sprigs on top. Garnish each serving with an orange or lemon slice, if desired.
  • Don't forget to show off your newly acquired purple tongue!
  • Approximately 12 cups.
