Tips & Substitutions

You can also experiment with different tea blends, such as hibiscus or chamomile, to give a unique twist. If you want to make this a sparkling punch, add club soda just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Six-Flavor Punch in a chilled glass with ice for a refreshing treat. Garnish each glass with a slice of orange or a sprig of mint for added appeal. This punch pairs beautifully with light appetizers, such as the Ready To Eat Pickle Salad, or can be enjoyed alongside a summer barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
