Summer Punch

I can still remember this punch recipe that my mum always made whenever we were having kids around from our youth group, especially whenever it was a pool party. It has always been a family favourite and you will love it too as it has no alcohol in it so safe for anyone to drink.

PREPARATION:

3 cups strong black tea
3/4 cup lemon juice
2 cups pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
2 lt lemonade
1 lt dry ginger ale
750 ml apple juice
200 ml grape juice
fresh mint sprigs

Just before you are ready to serve add lots of ice. This makes approx 5 litres so if you are having a large party just double the amount.

Queensland Punch

This is an easy alcohol free punch that is ideal for teenager's parties or for when you just want to serve a refreshing summer drink. I always make this is large quantities whenever having a large party with lots of young ones attending. I use Golden Circle brand juices and fruit salad but you can use any others.

PREPARATION:

1 x 850 ml can of pineapple juice
1 x 850 ml can sunshine punch
1 x 450 g can of fruit salad
1 lt bottle of lemonade
juice of 3 lemons

Combine all ingredients together except the lemonade. Add orange and lemon slices and some sprigs of fresh mint. Just before serving, add lots of ice and the lemonade. You can also add a bottle of dry ginger ale to give it a slightly different taste.
