Fruit Tea Punch
This refreshing Southern-style punch is a Nashville original that features a flavorful combination of lemon, orange, and cinnamon. Serve it as-is at any luncheon—or get creative and add some pineapple juice and dark rum to liven up the occasion. Cheers!

Ingredients
Directions
- Pour 4 cups water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add tea bag and cinnamon stick, remove from heat, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes.
