Ingredients
- 20 ounce tanqueray® london dry
- 6 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 10 ounce earl grey tea
- 7 ounce granulated sugar
- .5 ounce orange bitters
Directions
- In a clean jar or pitcher, combine four bags of Earl Grey tea with ten
- ounces of cold water. Put a lid on it and let it sit in the refrigerator
- for ten hours. Strain into a large bowl or pitcher. Mix Tanqueray®
- London Dry, fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar and bitters in
- a bowl. Add to tea. Pour over an ice block in a punch bowl and
- garnish with anise-spiked lemons, and perhaps a sprig of rosemary.
- Throw in some frozen grapes to take it to the next level.
- Use containers you have laying around your cupboards to
- create a large ice block for dramatic effect and to keep your
- punch cold longer without watering it down.
- Old Chinese take-out containers, plastic water pitchers, Bundt
- pans or jelly molds make great ice molds. Make sure they
- fit in your punch bowl and then freeze overnight. Run the
- container under hot water briefly to release the ice block. For
- added flair, throw in elements of your garnish before freezing.
