Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender flowers
- 1/4 cup elderflower syrup
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Blueberry and lavender sprigs for garnish
Мethod of preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Lavender Infusion
In a small saucepan, combine the dried lavender flowers with 1 cup of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Let it steep for an additional 10 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove the lavender flowers and let the infusion cool completely.
Step 2: Create the Base
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lavender infusion with apple juice, fresh lemon juice, and elderflower syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors together.
Step 3: Add Blueberries and Chill
Add the fresh blueberries to the pitcher and gently muddle some of them to release their juices. Then, add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the mixture thoroughly.
Step 4: Top with Sparkling Water
Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water. Stir gently to combine and adjust sweetness or tartness to your preference by adding more lemon juice or elderflower syrup if necessary.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Pour the punch into individual glasses, ensuring each glass gets a few blueberries. Garnish with additional blueberries and a sprig of lavender for a beautiful, aromatic touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the serene flavors of Dusk Delight Punch.
