Lavender Punch
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. When I first heard that punch could be made from lavender, I didn't believe it. It turns out that lavender punch is not a fairy-tale drink at all, but a truly popular and common refreshing beverage in France, with the genuine aroma and taste of real lavender. I tried making it following a French recipe—and indeed, it's a very original and delicious drink. Perfect for hot summer days. Serve it chilled.
