Green Tea Rum Punch image

Consider this recipe for a delicious, seasonal rum punch, made with brewed green and mint teas, raw sugar and fresh citrus. The complexity of one of my favorite rums, a blended English-style rum from the Caribbean, adds depth to the punch. Make a batch, keep it cold, and you won't find yourself missing out on your party.
