It’s autumn time! It’s autumn time!
Unfortunately there are no trees changing beautiful colors where I live. But the weeds do change colors: purple, reds, pinks, and yellows. Interesting, isn’t it? And definitely beautiful in their own way.
I love autumn. It gives me the chance to make this delicious hot orange punch. This makes a big batch perfect for friendly gatherings. I like to keep the extras in the fridge and heat up an individual cup to savor during an evening of reading.
Hot Orange Autumn Punch
4 cups sugar
6 qts water
2 12 oz. frozen orange juice concentrates
1 12 oz. lemonade concentrate
1 1/2 tsp – 1 TBSP almond extract {according to your taste}
Pour sugar, water, and juice concentrates into a large pot. Slowly heat until almost boiling. Take off heat and add almond extract to your personal taste. Serve hot or cold.
Mmm…sounds yummy! It’s way too hot here to even think about drinking something warm, but hopefully in another month or two I can try it out.
That DOES sound good – especially the individual cup to sip while reading.
Mmmmmm, and way better for you than hot Tang. 🙂
My mouth is watering just thinking of the flavor of that warm drink.
I love this time of year as well. The smell of the air, the colors, the breeze, the changing sunlight. Truly beautiful.
