We took our brand new Limited Edition Mississippi Tropical Fruit Tea and turned it into a delicious punch. The only downside of this drink, your cup will empty fast it just tastes that good!
What is Mississippi Tropical Fruit Tea?
Mississippi Tropical Fruit Tea is a limited edition tea grown and processed by us. Made with 100% US grown tea leaves, perfectly blended with Mango, Pineapple, Papaya and Tropical Fruit Extract.
What is the difference between the tea and the punch?
The tea itself is a looseleaf tea mixed with fruit pieces and tropical extracts. Made on its own it is just a great cup of flavored Oolong tea. With this recipe we take that tea and turn it into a punch. We make it bubbly and sweet. You can enjoy the tea as is or mix it with our recipe to have a really fun and refreshing punch.
Does this beverage contain alcohol?
No, but you can add Malibu Rum to make a cocktail out of it if you want. But you don't have to get wild with your punch. The Sparkling Cider is alcohol free.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of brewed Mississippi Tropical Fruit Tea (1 tsp per 8oz of water so 3 tsp total for this recipe)
- 3 tsp of sugar
- 3 cups Sparkling Cider
- 1/2 cup of Pineapple Juice
- 1/2 cup of Apple Juice
- Pineapple fruit for garnish
Directions:
- Boil 3 cups of water with 3 tsp of sugar to make your syrup.
- Add 3 teaspoons Mississippi Tropical Fruit Tea to your heated syrup mixture and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours minimum or overnight. We prefer overnight for best flavor.
- Mix 1/2 cup of Pineapple Juice, 1/2 cup Apple Juice and 3 cups of Sparkling Cider to your chilled tea mixture. Add Malibu Rum here if desired as well. Give it a stir.
- Add ice and garnish!
For the best results chill all beverage items before mixing. This drink is so good cold.
What else can you add to this drink to modify it?
Add a splash of Grenadine. Not only will that add some color but it will taste great too or add some frozen mango's to the mix. Perhaps you want to get a little wild with your punch? Add 3 shots of Malibu Caribbean Rum to the mix, it makes a great cocktail.
Could we use Champaign instead?
Sure, swap out the Sparkling Cider with Champaign to have more of a Mimosa styled drink.
What other teas make great cold beverages?
Along with Mississippi Tropical Fruit Tea our Grilled Southern Peach Tea is excellent cold and so is our Black Magnolia, Black Tea to make a traditional sweet tea.
How about another great cocktail recipe with tea?
Garden and Gun magazine just featured Grilled Southern Peach Tea in a Potent Peach tea cocktail that is great. You can see that here.
