Ginger

(Hot Scandanavian Christmas Punch)

A refreshing herbal iced tea with a nice crimson color. For a frosted look, freeze the glasses ahead of time, and dip the rims into sugar before pouring the tea.

A lovely drink for a picnic.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.

This is more of an infusion than a true tea, since it isn't made with tea leaves. You will have leftover spice tea to store.

This cross between a fizz and a float  — a new take on an old-fashioned treat is lovely warm-weather refreshment.
