Cauldwell's Rum Punch (makes 1 gallon)
2 qts strong tea (at least 1 bag per cup, steep at least five minutes. Traditionally use Constant Comment tea)
1 fifth of rum (light for color or dark for taste)
1 pint brandy (least expensive - not "sippin'")
6 oz Curacao or Triple Sec
3/4 cup lime juice (6 limes)
3/8 cup lemon juice (3 lemons)
1/2 cup sugar
Dissolve sugar in tea, cool, add the rest of the ingredients. Allow to sit for three days (sometimes patience really IS a virtue). Notes from my mother: This stuff keeps forever, serve with lots of ice, and it's very subtle AND very potent. My experience: She's right on all counts.
I've never made it with 151...maybe I've been remiss. Any volunteers to help consume the experiment?

Mon, February 21, 2005 - 10:33 PMAh, Grasshopper, that's where the water and caffeine in the tea come in - keeps you wide awake and flambe free. Doesn't mean you won't need that gurney request form, though.
Funny, I wouldn't have pictured you as one who would prefer to watch...you seemed like much more the active participant type.
Either way, it's bottoms up! -

Wed, February 23, 2005 - 10:56 PMShoot, I made the tea, drank the rum, burned the brandy, lost the triple sec in a extraterrestrial orange exchange phenomenon, and the lime, lemon and sugar ... let's say they went with the Extra terrestrialisms.
I'm going back to the drawing board for now, but I am still loving the ingredients...
I smell bottling for playaisms to the 151 goddess... -

Thu, February 24, 2005 - 12:24 PMI'm sorry I missed the party - I was on the phone with E.T., trying to talk him down...
You have a brilliant mind and are my kind a superintendent. Always thinking of new ways to make use of the collection and distribution facilities of the Depot! Gee, we could even make the tea as sun tea just to keep the brew healthy and conserve heat, an important consideration on the desert. At night. In the dead of winter. Which would be one of the MANY times you'd need this brew the most!
MUST keep the goddess happy....................
