How to Make Quaker Punch

Bruise 1 cup of fresh mint leaves gently with a muddler or spoon.
Add 1 inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger and 4 tea bags (black tea recommended) to a large pitcher.
Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the mint, ginger, and tea bags. Cover and let steep for 6-7 minutes.
Strain the tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.
In a separate saucepan, gently heat 2 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool slightly.
Add the cooled sugar syrup to the strained tea.
Add the juice of 4 lemons and 2 oranges. Strain the punch again through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining pulp.
Refrigerate the punch for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and orange slices (optional).
