Grape tea punch - country living

24 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 quarts Boiling water
8 Bags red herbal tea (We used Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger Herb Tea.)
2 24-oz bottles unsweetened white grape juice
Ice cubes
Fresh strawberries
Chilled ginger ale or Champagne

Directions

1. In 5-quart, heatproof container or bowl, combine water and tea bags. Cool tea mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches room temperature; remove and discard tea bags. Add grape juice to tea to make punch base. Cover and refrigerate punch base until ready to serve.

2. To serve, place some ice cubes in 4-to 6-quart punch bowl; pour punch base over ice (see Note). Rinse and thoroughly dry strawberries; add to punch bowl. Ladle some punch base into glasses to fill half way; add ginger ale or Champagne, as guests desire, to till glasses completely; stir.

Note: For the picture, we used a 12-quart punch bowl and tripled the punch base recipe.
