I'll have to try this version as I have only tried Jerry Thomas' recipe (similar to the one above). I always thought it odd to add tea to a punch. I did, too, but I've learned by reading David Wondrich's wonderful new book, Punch, that it was a common ingredient in 18th- and 19th-century punches. You'll also find tea in the punch that Martin Cate recently created for his punch symposium at Tiki Oasis. Not green though, black.
