House Punch

House Punch

(little over ¾ gallon)

Ingredients:

¾ cup Powdered Sugar

1 (750 ml) bottle Dark Rum

1 pt. Brandy

1 cup Peach Schnapps

2 cups Fresh Brewed Black Tea

2 cups Fresh Lemon Juice

2 cups Water

garnish: Orange Slices (optional)

Directions:

It is best to chill all liquids before making this punch. In a large container, mix the first 6 ingredients until well combined. Now add the water and mix. Taste punch before, during and after adding water to meet your taste desires. Place mixture in a punch bowl with ice and garnish (if using) with orange slices.

Note: A neat trick to use with punch type beverages is to put it in empty clean old bottles. Wine bottles work great for this and then just put in a stopper. You can keep beverage colder by leaving unused bottles in refrigerator until needed. This way you don't need ice in a punch bowl diluting the drink. Just ice the individual glasses before filling.
