My friend, Rita, served this at her wedding in 1974 and it still is a good recipe for a nonalcoholic punch.
Ingredients
4 cups hot tea
2 cups sugar
2 cups orange juice
1 cup lemon juice
24 ounces ginger ale
1 pint lemon sherbet
Instructions
Early in the day, combine the hot tea and sugar in a large bowl or pitcher. Cover and refrigerate.
At serving time, combine the chilled tea-sugar mixture, orange juice, lemon juice and ginger ale in a chilled punch bowl. Spoon sherbet on top of the mixture. Stir gently.
This recipe makes 24 1/2-cup portions of punch.
