Quaker Punch

Quakers abhor violence, and many abjure alcohol, although most believe in 'temperance' rather than 'abstinence'. However, they have no objections to double entendres. This is a lovely, refreshing summer time drink. I made it by the gallon for an August wedding last year and it was a big hit.

Very refreshing drink. I didn't have fresh orange juice so I used concentrated OJ and it still came out excellent. To give it a kick, I added some pineapple rum and boy it is soooo good. Thank you for the recipe.

I wish I could give this recipe ten stars! I used Earl Grey tea bags and lemons from my tree. I love the hint of ginger taste. For me, this is the perfect ides tea recipe. Many thanks.

This makes a refreshing drink for a hot summer day. I used 4 regular size tea bags, 2 lemons instead of the 3. The drink was sweetened with Splenda instead of sugar. Everyone loved it, going back for seconds. There were no leftovers on this! :)

What a great combination, the best of orange juice and iced tea in one! I let my tea steep until quite strong but you could certainly adjust that to your taste. Mine didn't come out quite as orange as in the picture but I expect this depends on how much juice you can squeeze out of the fruit. I absolutely adored the flavour combination and will be making this again as a different summer drink. Make sure you save a bit of mint to garnish the drink with! -
