Fruit Tea Ginger Ale Punch

"This is the best non-alcoholic tea-based punch! It's quick to make, but if you decide to freeze it into a slush, it'll take up to three hours to reach that consistency. If you'd like an alcoholic version, just add rum to taste."

  1. This is sooo easy to make. I've cut the sugar way down and it is delicious!!
     
  2. YUMMY!!!! We had a tea party for my daughter's birthday yesterday and I made this. I didn't look closely at the recipe though and didn't have time to freeze it. So, I just threw everything into a big bowl minus the sugar...it was great tasting! everyone loved it!
     
  3. The students of my daughter's class always request this punch for their holiday parties. I double the recipe each time, but still run out. Even though 2-liter bottles of sodas are near the punch bowl, they always reach for the punch first and only reach for the sodas after the punch is gone. ---As a little decoration, I filled an ice tray with some of the punch base, dropped a maraschino cherry in each cube slot and froze overnight. I popped the iced cherries into the punch before adding the ginger ale.
     
  4. This punch is excellent! Someone very dear to me actually made the punch for a family wedding. I tasted it and I loved it. I can't wait to make it for my kids to try.
     
  5. This is great! My DD is having a girls' tea party for her birthday celebration and we did a trial run. I used a rooibos tea instead of the brewed tea and I cut the sugar just a bit. The ginger ale adds a lot of flavor, particularly since we used the "real" ginger ale. I think the girls will love, we certainly do. Thanks Stella Mae!

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining. See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
