The summer heat is bearing down on us and there is nothing quite like an ice cold and refreshing beverage to help see us through. This punch is not only absolutely delicious, but healthy as well.
Pomegranate and citrus are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. Many health claims are made for pomegranates from controlling good and bad cholesterols, reducing heart disease, preventing certain cancers, assisting in brain function, even anti-aging. Most of these claims are a bit hyped up in my opinion. Regardless, this recipe is not only useful for entertaining, but a great everyday family beverage as well with benefits way beyond soda.
INGREDIENTS:
3 QUARTS WATER
12 LUZIANNE TEA BAGS (or 3 family size bags)
½ CUP SUGAR
1 CONTAINER FROZEN LEMONADE CONCENTRATE
1 LITER GINGER ALE, CHILLED
1 CUP POMEGRANATE JUICE
FRESH ORANGE, LEMON, & LIME SLICES
TECHNIQUE:
BRING 1 ½ QUARTS WATER TO A BOIL, STEEP TEA BAGS FOR 5 MINUTES. REMOVE BAGS, COMBINE WITH LEMONADE CONCENTRATE , REMAINING 1 ½ QUARTS COLD WATER, AND JUICE. CHILL COMPLETELY. ADD FRESH LEMON AND ORANGE SLICES AN HOUR IN ADVANCE. JUST BEFORE SERVING, ADD CHILLED GINGER ALE.
