A tempting booze-free punch for non-drinking Christmas guests

December 9, 2023
Cherie Metcalfe's booze-free punch.

Most Christmas gatherings include at least one adult non-drinker. Don’t leave them sipping flat lemonade - make them a lovely punch! You might even have all the ingredients for this one, by Cherie Metcalfe, already.

Iced Tea Punch

Serves 5

This non-alcoholic punch is a delicious refreshing bev I dreamed up for my mocktail mates. I love the mint, tea and berry combo and it’s not too sweet either. Try it with ginger ale for another twist!

5 berry tea bags

1 cup boiling water

1 Tbsp honey

ice

1 cup frozen or fresh berries

juice of 1 lemon

1 handful fresh mint

4 cups soda water

METHOD

1 Place tea bags in a small jug, add boiling water and allow to brew for 5 minutes.

2 Remove tea bags, giving them a good squeeze.

3 Add honey to jug and stir to dissolve. Allow to cool.

4 Fill a large jug with ice. Add berries, lemon juice and mint.

5 Add honey tea and top with soda water. Serve immediately.
