Makes 16 servings
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon ginger ground
2 quarts apple cider or apple juice
3 cups water
1 12-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 frozen Hand “Ice Ring” (see below, optional)
In a large pitcher or glass gallon jar, stir lemon juice and ginger until blended. Add cider, water and orange juice concentrate; stir until well blended. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or until well chilled.
To serve cold, place punch in a large chilled punch bowl. Add ice ring. Serve in punch cups.
To serve hot, place mixture into a 4-quart sauce pot. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large insulated server, slow cooker or serving pitcher. Serve in heatproof cups or mugs.
Frozen Hand Ice Ring: Take a plastic glove that you use in serving food, and wash several times. Gently fill with water and tie closed tightly. Place in freezer until hand is frozen completely. When ready to put into punch bowl, take a sharp knife and cut glove off of ice.
