Note from Cheri:
Fresh mint can make ordinary ice tea special, so you might
opt to stop after the first step of the recipe and completely
eliminate the extra ingredients. Try this punch for something
even more memorable. It's the prefect refreshment for
a hot summer afternoon.
8 tea bags
8 fresh mint
sprigs
1 C sugar
2 quarts boiling water
2 1/2 C pineapple juice
1 can (6 oz.) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
additional mint springs for garnish
Makes about 3 quarts
Combine tea bags, sugar and mint sprigs. Pour boiling water over tea
mixture. Cover and let steep for at least a half hour.
Remove and discard tea bags and mint springs. Transfer to a large pitcher
or punch bowl and add pineapple juice, cold water and lemonade concentrate
(undiluted). Stir well, serve over ice garnished with mint sprigs.
