LAVENDER THIRST QUENCHER .....by Dorothy Morrison
This drink is precisely what the name implies, for it quenches thirst when nothing else seems to do the trick. Served over ice and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint, it makes the perfet drink for relaxing in the garden.
1 can pineapple juice 1 can grapefruit juice 1 large can frozen lemonade Water 1/2 cup dried lavender flowers, crushed Large bowl Glass pot
Pour the pineapple juice, grapefruit juice, and frozen lemonade into the bowl and set aside. Using the lemonade can as a measuring device, pour 1 1/2 cans of water into the pot and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and stir in the lavender. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes, then strain out the herbs and add the liquid to the bowl. Stir until the lemonade melts completely.
Chill and serve. Store any remaining beverage in the refrigerator. (When stored in containers with tight-fitting lids, this drink keeps for 2 weeks.) |
