Vanilla Lavender Wine Punch

Submitted by Rita1652

"Lavender and vanilla flavored wine. So smooth, sweet and delish. Great on a spring day! This is a recipe I made from my Recipe #302519. For those that can't get sweet woodruff. It is equally flavorful. Great for bridal showers. It is easy to make Recipe #101039. Use any berries that are available. Cava or champagne is delish in this. But use any sparkling wine or sparkling water to keep the alcohol down.Take a look at this for May Wine http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?p=4543721"
