Lavender Spritzer

Found in Mother Earth Living

Ingredients

- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

- 1 cup fresh strawberries (I use tiny wild strawberries. Yum)

- 1 Tbsp fresh lavender buds

- 3 cups white wine or club soda

- 4 cups mineral water (just plain water will do)

- 4 to 6 lavender sprigs

- 4 to 6 fresh strawberries

Preparation

- In a blender or food processor, blend the orange juice, 1 cup strawberries and lavender flowers. Transfer to a jug or bowl.

- Pour wine or club soda over the blended mixture and steep for 30 minutes; then strain into a punch bowl, discarding solids.

- To serve, fill a wineglass half full with this mixture and top with mineral water. Garnish with strawberries and lavender.
