Great-Grandmother's Punch

This was my great-grandmother's punch recipe. It is, without a doubt, the best punch ever.

Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups of cold black tea
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Approx. 1 litre of pine orange juice or similar juice
1 bottle of lemonade
1 bottle of ginger ale
1 tin of fruit salad

Pour the ingredients in italics into a saucepan, mix well and bring to boil.
Pour this into the bottom of the punch bowl. Add all the ingredients not in italics. Feel smug.

If you are too lazy to do the boiling business, I found it worked fine if you omit the sugar and lemon juice and just tip cold tea in.

But tea is icky...

You can't TASTE it, it just acts to give the punch a nice tang.
