Miss 12 wants punch and I need a yummy recipie suitable for kids, I have borrowed granny's glass punch bowl on a stand, it's stunning and I need a recipie to do it justice!

For punch I would do two different juices, a bottle of lemonade and maybe a bottle of ginger beer and chopped strawberries to float. Maybe some pineapple!

This is the recipe my friend Rachel gave me -hence the name. It has been well circulated on this MB and gets good reviews

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!
