Description
This is really good and different from any punch I have ever had. I doubt I will ever make any other kind again.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strong Tea (2 Family Size Tea Bags Steeped In 1/2 Cups Water)
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 quart Hot Tap Water
- 2 Tablespoons Almond Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cups Lemon Juice
- 2-⅛ quarts (2 Liters) Ginger Ale
Preparation
(The 15 minutes cook time is time for steeping the tea.)
Add cooled strong tea to the rest of the ingredients (except ginger ale) and freeze in a Ziploc freezer bag.
Thaw (not completely, you want it to still be pretty slushy) and add to 2 liters ginger ale.
Very good stuff! It is a bit sweet, but you can add more lemon to offset the sweetness or just put in less sugar to begin with. You can also steep the tea longer or use an additional tea bag to offset the sweetness.
(To be honest, I have no idea how many glasses this will make. I have never counted and it would depend on the glasses. I have made a batch of this for a change of pace here at home and we got probably 10 full-sized tea glasses out of it, so I figure 20 small punch glasses could be served from this easily.)
