Uncle Otto's Punch

*from Recipes From The Heart: Baby Boomers Edition, a collection of recipes from the Voluntary Action Center of Sycamore, IL; 2009. Morris Press Cookbooks, Kearney NE.

Uncle Otto wasn't even messing around. Look at the ratio of booze to mixer. Yowsah!

1 lb sugar cubes (or granulated sugar)
1 1/2 quarts hot brewed green tea
juice of 12 lemons (about 2 c lemon juice)
1 pint peach brandy
1 quart (Jamaican) rum
1 quart (bourbon) whiskey
1 liter club soda

In a large bowl, place sugar cubes and pour hot tea over to melt. Stir until crystals are gone. Add everything but the club soda and refrigerate until cold. Just before serving, transfer to punch bowl and pour in club soda.
