Fall is here and I’ve got the perfect punch recipe to add to your autumn gatherings!  This Autumn Sweet Tea Punch has the great flavor of Southern sweet tea combined with apple cider, pineapple and orange juices, and just a hint of cinnamon.

It’s perfect for those fall bbqs when it’s still warm enough to grill out but cool enough to enjoy a fall flavored beverage.  It’s perfect for showers, parties, apple picking, fall festivals, trick-or-treating, just about anything.  It’s just perfect.

For 5 generations, the family behind Red Diamond has been obsessing over tea and coffee.  They’re committed to perfection, and Perfect’s Not Easy!  Every coffee bean and tea leaf is handpicked from the world’s finest fields, crafted without compromise, and refined every step of the way. That’s why it’s the perfect ingredient in this perfect punch – quality and perfection.

So pull out those jackets and grab a jug of apple cider because fall is here and it’s time to make some of this Autumn Sweet Tea Punch.

And honestly, fall weather in the South can mean jackets and jeans and it can also mean shorts and t-shirts.  That’s another thing that makes this punch so perfect.  It’s great served chilled, room temperature, or warm.  You can even keep it in the slow cooker if you’re serving it heated.

Seriously, make some.  You’re gonna love it!

    Any juice I can replace with the cider. Making a few other apple cider drinks this weekend. Just didn’t want to do all apple cider in the drinks?

    Thanks

      I’ve only ever made it with cider, so I can’t say for sure.

    I don’t understand the tea bag size given . How would it equate to regular tea bags?

      They are family -sized bags that usually make 1 quart of tea per bag.

    That sounds very tasty. I might leave out the sugar, because we don’t use it in tea or coffee, and the cider and juice would sweeten it enough for us. As a child, my folks wouldn’t buy packaged drink mixes of flavored sugar to mix with water, so we always had a tea punch for holidays and events. Packaged mixes compared very poorly to tea punch, so we hadn’t felt deprived at all.

    Our favorite tea punch had used a bottle of a product called Zarex, a raspberry juice concentrate, and a bottle of Concord grape juice, along with a half-dozen or so lemons, juiced, with the lemons rinds tossed in to add flavor as well. I think Zarex disappeared from store shelves maybe about 40 years ago, sadly, but your punch recipe seems like a worthy alternative, especially for this season.

    I am having a dinner party on the 15th of October and this sounds like a perfect drink for everyone young and old. Can’t wait to try it. And I would guess a shot of vodka in the adult glasses would be good too!

    This punch sounds really good! Pinning it for the holidays.
    In my part of Texas, we always said “that’s too much sugar for a nickel”! Inflation I guess! Lol
    Thanks Stacey!

    Stacey, this sounds really delicious and just different enough from all the other spiced teas out there to pack a spectacular “punch.” Thanks for posting this one. I can’t wait to try it.
