Preparation
Step 1
Make the tea into ten quarts worth of strong tea.
Step 2
Mix the sugar with one quart boiling water until it is a thick syrup. Add juice from pineapple cans and let it boil.
Step 3
When the tea has cooled, add sugar syrup, rum, brandy, juice of lemons, cherries and pineapple chunks.
Step 4
This mixture is your "stock" which you should make up to five days in advance. Stock should be kept tightly in corked bottles.
Step 5
When you're ready to serve, mix three quarts stock for every one quart champagne and one quart carbonated water.
Step 6
The original recipe from 1890 says to use three quarts of carbonated water for "the ladies' punch", but I do not. (: This recipe serves 600-650.
