Cool article! I'd love to try some of the aged stuff. It was also supposedly used in some of the original mint julep recipes.

The addition of green tea and maraschino (and dialing down the peach brandy/liqueur) really makes it shine.

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 just got that book too. With all of my experimenting, I'm going to have some pretty drunk neighbors. : )
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.
