(From Good Eats)Ingredients
- 16 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice, bodies reserved, about 20 limes
- 32 ounces Demerara sugar
- 64 ounces warm black tea
- 48 ounces Batavia Arrack
- Ice block
- Freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
Combine the juice, lime bodies and sugar in a 5-quart container (or split in 2 large mixing bowls). Add the tea and stir until the sugar dissolves completely, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Batavia Arrack and stir to combine. Chill to at least 40 degrees, approximately 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Strain the punch into a punch bowl over a large ice block and serve with freshly grated nutmeg.
*Approx 30 4oz servings
Note: If anyone can let me know how to transfer the punch from the mixing bowls into the pitchers without making a complete mess PLEASE let me know! Why don't mixing bowls have spouts?

You can purchase a lovely set of mixing bowls with spouts at Ikea. I have an orange set that even has super secure rubber lids so nothing spills in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteI'm also going to make this punch now at my birthday party. Yum!
This is great! Both a solution AND an excuse to go to IKEA...
