The Green Acres Punch is a simple drink to throw together for a party. It is similar to a classically designed rum punch such as the Medford Rum Punch, yet in this instance green tea dilutes the aged rums of Flor de Cana .
The recipe below makes a small batch of punch, just enough to make about three 3-ounce servings so you will need to adjust the proportions according to the number of servings you need. Also, this is intended to be served cold after a day of steeping everything together. However, I like the option of serving it warm and to do so I would store the prepared punch in a large pot overnight and warm it up gently just prior to serving. Do not let the punch or the tea come to a full boil as this can add an unwanted bitterness.
