Source of Recipe

Sunset Favorite Recipes 1982


Recipe Introduction

The zesty, intriguing flavor of this punch is due to Japanese green tea and fresh ginger root. Recipe can be doubled or tripled, as this only makes about 7 six ounce servings.

List of Ingredients

1 quart grapefruit soda
2 c. boiling water
1 T. green tea leaves (or 2 green tea bags)
2 T. sugar
3 T. thawed frozen orange juice concentrate (undiluted)
1-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into a few chunks.



Recipe

Several hours or the night before serving, freeze half of the soda into cubes. Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves/bags and steep for 5 minutes. Strain, if needed. Stir in the 2 T. sugar; cover and chill thoroughly.
To make punch, pour oj concentrate into a 2-quart pitcher. Using a garlic press or fine wire strainer, press juice from the ginger into pitcher (about 1/2 t. juice). Pour in tea and grapefruit-soda ice cubes; stir in remaining 2 c. chilled soda.
