Lavender punch recipes

Question

I'm helping plan a wedding/bridal shower and one of the brides chosen colors is lavender. I've looked around a bit online, but just wondering if there are any good lavender punch recipes anybody on here might have? Nothing too difficult... Thank in advance! =]

3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves

GARNISH

1MINT 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.

2TEA/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.
