Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a brief boil.
  3. Remove from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
  4. Prepare the strong tea by steeping tea bags or loose leaf tea in 1 cup of boiling water for 5-7 minutes, then remove tea and let cool.
  5. Thaw the frozen lemonade concentrate according to package directions.
  6. In a large punch bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, cooled tea, and thawed lemonade.
  7. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  8. Refrigerate the punch for at least 1 hour to chill before serving.
  9. Optional: For a decorative touch, arrange thin citrus slices and fresh cranberries in a ring mold, cover with water, and freeze to create a fruit ice ring.
  10. Float the ice ring in the punch bowl just before serving.
