List of Ingredients




1½ cups sugar
5 tea bags
½ cup mint jelly
1 cup grapefruit juice
1 cup pineapple juice
Juice of 4 lemons


Recipe



Bring 3 cups of water and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard. Stir the mint jelly into the hot tea until completely dissolved. Pour the tea mixture into a large pitcher along with the grapefruit, pineapple, and lemon juices and refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice. Serves 8.
Note: This punch from a magazine of the 1920s was originally suggested as a nonalcoholic bridge-party beverage. Those who aren't teetotalers should note that it can be improved with a generous splash of whiskey.
