One drop each of red and blue food coloring would make it lavender in color. As far as the recipe goes, it's perfect. If you're looking for a shortcut, like I usually am, put the lavender in a tea steeping ball (is there a proper name for those things? before adding it to the saucepan. Then it won't have to be strained later, which could avoid a mess if your saucepan doesn't have a pouring lip on the side.
