Ingredients

2 cups chai spice or apple spice tea

1 cup fresh apple juice

2 cups fresh orange juice

2 cups ginger ale

1 cup rum, optional

6 Cinnamon sticks for serving

Ice for chilling

Directions

  1. Brew the chai spice or apple spice tea according to package directions in 2 cups of water. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, approximately 15 minutes.

  2. Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes to chill the container.

  3. Pour the cooled brewed tea into the ice-filled pitcher.

  4. Add the apple juice and orange juice to the pitcher and stir well to combine.

  5. Pour in the ginger ale and gently stir to blend without losing carbonation.

  6. If desired, add the rum and stir to incorporate evenly.

  7. Chill the punch for at least 15 minutes before serving.

  8. Divide the punch among 6 glasses filled with fresh ice and garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.

All ingredients are available at any major Charlotte chain, though chai spice tea may require a moment at the tea aisle or bulk section—Harris Teeter and Kroger both stock it readily. At roughly $1.50 per serving for juices and spirits, it's moderate for a six-person crowd drink, making it cheap enough for entertaining. The stated 45 minutes is honest if you count chilling time, but active prep is five minutes; this is a strength, not a drawback, for a weeknight or party. It doesn't reheat (obviously), but as a batch-mixed punch it scales effortlessly and holds all evening over ice.
