A New Twist Sweet Tea Punch

 

Hello Friends!

Are you experiencing the long, hot summer days like I am? How about serving some cool, refreshing Sweet Tea Punch for your next gathering or for the weekend? You deserve a treat

There are numerous variations in making this tea. Here is the recipe.

• 3 (11.3-oz.) cans guava nectar (about 4 1/4 cups), chilled

• 3 cups prepared unsweetened tea, chilled

• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 large lemons), plus lemon slices for serving

• 6 (4-in.) fresh mint or rosemary sprigs

• Ice

Stir together guava nectar, tea, and lemon juice in a large punch bowl or pitcher. Chill until ready to serve.

Note: Brew strong tea, and balance the guava nectar and lemon juice to your liking.

When ready to serve, add ice, lemon slices, and herb sprigs.

Customize your tea.

• Fruit juice: Swap guava nectar for mango, peach, or apricot nectar, passionfruit juice, pineapple juice, or any other juice you love.
• Tea: Use any type of unsweetened tea you prefer, from black or green tea to herbal varieties.
• Herbs: Use basil or thyme instead of mint or rosemary for a unique twist.
• Citrus: Use orange or lime juice in the place of lemon as desired.
• Bubbles: Stir in sparkling water, club soda, or ginger beer for an effervescent touch. You can also use prosecco or sparkling rosé.
• Alcohol: Add bourbon, whiskey, rum, vodka, or gin to the punch as you like.
