📋 How To Make Punch?
The punch starts with some fresh mint and black tea. Place the tea bags and mint sprigs into a large pitcher. The tea and mint are mix with some boiling hot water and left to steep. This will create a very potent tea that is sure to smell fantastic.
Once the tea has time to steep, discard the tea bags and give the tea a stir.
Mix the honey and sugar into the hot tea and stir to dissolve the sugar. If your sugar isn’t dissolving right away, reheat the tea a little in a pot. Keep stirring and the sugar should disappear!
Add some cold water to make the tea a little less strong and bitter. Mix in some fresh orange juice to give the tea a fruity flavor while the lemon juice brightens the whole drink. Grapefruit juice or pineapple juice will work in place of orange juice as well. Any kind of citrus will taste amazing.
Once the tea is mixed, you can keep it in your punch bowl or pour it into a large pitcher to serve. The tea will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks so you will have plenty of time to drink it!
This non alcoholic punch is a great one to have on hand all summer long.
