What Is In Sweet Tea Harvest Punch?

  1. Unsweetened Black Tea. I chose the pre-prepared tea in a gallon jug, it’s easy.
  2. Orange Juice. Make sure it is pulp free, pulp would be unpleasant in this.
  3. Apple Cider.
  4. Raw Honey.
  5. Orange and Apple Slices.
  6. Cinnamon Sticks. Make sure they are food grade.
Ingredients for Sweet Tea Harvest Punch

How to Make Sweet Tea Harvest Punch

SERVING COLD: Chill the ingredients and stir together in a large pitcher. Serve over ice.

TIP: When making this drink cold I recommend dissolving the honey in some of the tea. To do this add the honey to half a cup of the tea and heat in the microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow the honey syrup mixture to cool.

SERVING HOT: Place all the ingredients (except for the orange and apple slices) in a large pot or crockpot and bring to a boil. Ladle into heat-safe glasses and garnish with your orange and apple slices.

A Few Notes:

This drink is caffeinated. Tea has a significant amount of caffeine so if you plan on drinking this later in the day I recommend buying caffeine free tea.

Sweeten as your heart desires. Since moving to the south I have quickly learned that sweet tea is a southern staple. It seems the rule of thumb here is the sweeter the better. In my opinion this punch is moderately sweet but feel free to add more or less honey.

Use good quality juice. Because this punch has minimal ingredients make sure you are choosing high-quality brands and 100% real juice. It is so important in getting a really delicious punch!
