Fish House Punch

1 qt. Brandy or Cognac
1 qt. Myers Rum
2 lbs. Sugar
2 qt. Water
8 oz. Fresh orange juice
24 oz. Fresh lemon juice
1 pint Very strong brewed tea (2X - 4X)

Heat 2 quarts water, add and stir 2 lbs. of sugar until dissolved. Boil 1 pint of water for brewing tea and add enough tea bags for 1 to 2 quarts of normal strength tea. While sugar water and tea are brewing, squeeze enough lemons and oranges to make 1 quart of fruit juice.

Mix brandy, rum, sugar water, fruit juice and tea in a large container. Refrigerate. Makes about 1.4 gallons, depending on how much you sampled during the cooking.

CAUTION - Fish stories may be closer than they appear. Don't operate heavy machinery.
