Ingredients
Instructions
- Make a syrup by boiling sugar and hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add strong tea and strawberry jello to the syrup and stir until dissolved.
- Combine all fruit juices and let the mixture stand for 24 hours.
- Just before serving, add Hawaiian Punch and ginger ale to the mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter punch, consider adding more sugar or using flavored sparkling water instead of ginger ale. If you're short on time, skip the 24-hour wait and serve immediately after mixing the juices. You can also substitute the frozen lemonade and orange juice with fresh juice for a more vibrant flavor. This punch pairs beautifully with Mustard-Glazed Pork Chops for a delightful meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this punch in a large bowl or pitcher with ice and garnish with fresh fruit slices such as oranges or pineapples for a festive touch. It pairs well with light appetizers like Homemade Cottage Fries or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing drink during summer gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor will continue to develop and may become even more refreshing. To serve chilled again, simply pour over ice or blend with fresh ice to make it slushy.
