Brandy Tea Punch
This sparkling mix dates back to early 15-16th century sea voyages, when “punch stock” was bottled and kept in storage to add to sparkling wine at meals. Its mix of citrus and molasses (in this recipe, maple syrup) not only improved the taste but also reduced illness and scurvy with its lemony injection of vitamin C. The drink’s healthful effects led fleet physicians to believe it doubled a fleet’s efficiency—so just imagine what it can do for your party.
