Make some black tea (1.5 l) - (about 0.5 gallons) of water, cook it with one piece of cinnamon, 5 grains of clove and 8 grains pimento, squeeze the juice of one lemon in it and add the juice of 8 oranges.

Nice receipe, I would intentionally half the number of cloves and add some black tea and one squeezed lemon.

But first I will cook this recipe in original - it looks very promising.
Thanx for the input.

This one is perfect for the holiday get-togethers, and people always ask for the recipe...

Hi people. Thank you so much for your recipies so far. I have to prepare a punch for a group of 25 peeps. Its being held in a church, so no alcohol permit allowed. Hence a non-alcohol recipe required. Tis the time of year, so keep them coming.

Also feel free to post any xmas recipies that you feel is pretty awsome & you have received rave reviews from your fans.

Let this be a thread for xmas goodies for all who wish to partake. Even xmas jokes are good too, but hey, keep them clean.

sounds lethal. What is Midori & Malibu? Sounds like liquers?

Hmmm, thanks for starting this thread. I plan to make cookies with a good friends daughter this week, and her parents along with the Fiance, so I was thinking of making a punch or something to sip on while doing cookies. Than taking hot chocolate for a ride while we look at christmas lights.

Oh that sounds like a nice plan.....especially the part where you take the hot chocolate along.

Have you decided on a punch yet?

My family loves this: 1 gallon of cranberry juice, 2 bottles of ginger, fresh lemons, cloves, cinnamon stick, and I put it in my big coffee maker. The filter is where I put the cloves, cinnamon stick, and sliced lemons. So good! It is a way to serve a nice hot drink most of the evening.

Do you mean gingerale?

A 5th of MD 20/20 with a cinnamon stick should do the trick.

just start off with a lot of vodka.. and youll be good to go ;)
