non alcoholic punch recipe

does anyone have a yummy non alcoholic punch recipe please?

Lime Mint Iced Tea

simple iced tea, with a twang of lime and hint of mint. It's both sweet and tart at the same time. The lime juice will be much better flavoured if freshly squeezed.
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 quart water, boiling
• 4 tea bags
• 1 3/4 cups fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup lime juice
PREPARATION:
Mix tea bags, mint and sugar in hot water, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain out the tea bags and mint leaves. Chill and add lime juice before serving.
Serves 4

Homemade Iced Tea
INGREDIENTS
Serves 6 to 8
6 English Breakfast teabags
2 pints/1. 2 litres boiling water
10fl oz/275ml freshly squeezed orange juice, chilled
squeezed juice of 1/2 lime

elderflower cordial mixed with soda water or sparkling mineral water. Float blueberries and mint leaves in it.
1/2 orange, sliced

Rachel’s Punch
1 litre strong tea
1 cup sugar
1 or 2 cups cordial (lemon, lime or orange) - I use Roses Lime Cordial from the supermarket - put it in undiluted.
3 litres fruit juice (orange, grapefruit, pineapple)
Allow to cool.

3 litres lemonade
3 litres gingerale
TOTAL = 10 litres or 50 glasses

Make the tea, and after about 20 mins pour onto 1 cup sugar, and stir till sugar is dissolved. Add the cordial and fruit juices. Chill this mixture in two containers of equal amounts. When ready pour one container of mixture into punch bowl (or large mixing bowl) adding 1. 5L of chilled lemonade and gingerale. Make up the second 'batch' when ready. You could make up the whole amount if you have a large enough bowl/bucket!

"college punch"

2 quart pineapple juice
2 quart apple juice
2 quart orange juice
1 quart ginger ale
1 quart orange Sorbet
1 strawberry for garnish

I didn't measure in quarts (what is a quart? ? ? ), but measured it using ratios.

2 (whatevers, cups, litres, you choose) pineapple juice, 2 apple juice, 2 orange juice, 1 whatever for gineraplee, and 1 whatever of sorbet.

I used lemon, but orange would still be good.

wow, thank you for all those recipes

Hi Lala...
You can see the recipe which I have used at many a party "Rachel's Punch"...
And I found the recipe for College Punch recently (see Animals post)... I love loved loved it. I purchased the sorbet. The recipe called for orange sorbet, our supermarket only had lemon... it was great... Added some body to the punch.

If you want to make your own sorbet - this is the "recipe" I use to make sorbet.

Take a tin of peaches - put the tin (unopened) in the freezer. Freeze.
Open tin, whiz in food processor - return to freezer - use when ready...

So you could do peach or pear sorbet...

Enjoy the party!
