Sparkling Rose Tea Punch

A splash of Triple Sec adds a warm orange scent to this strawberry tea punch. Wonderful for a luncheon or open house at the holidays.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 cups water
8 tea bags, preferably black tea

Cooking Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add tea bags, cover, and brew for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and refrigerate until very cold, at least 1 hour.
