East India Trading Co. Rum Punch

(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?
