I truly wish that I could remember where I found this recipe originally so I could site it but the first and only time I made this recipe was back in 2009 for a candle party I hosted (because we all lived for and loved Partylite). I've been itching to make this for some time and I finally figured out how to find my Notes on Facebook to find the recipe!
NOTES
I took a screen shot of the note when it popped up in my Facebook memories...I wrote the thing down and I couldn't find it when I made this for my Cookie Exchange party so I was actually short 1 cinnamon stick. I thought it was supposed to be 2 and I put 3...still good!
My coffee maker doesn't use coffee filters so the ones I have are small and are more for straining my cold brew. I also don't have cheese cloth laying around so I just add my spice right into the juice.
Let's talk tea. I don't think I've used all blueberry or all blackberry tea the first time I made this and I definitely didn't this time. I couldn't find blueberry tea at my store as a stand alone tea, only as part of a sampler. I did find a blackberry citrus tea that pictured a blackberry and an orange slice so I used 6 of the blackberry tea bags and the last 2 blueberry tea bags that I had. It was delicious!
It was pretty chilly the day of the party so I made this shortly before people arrived. I poured the warm punch into a pitcher and let my guests know that they could drink it warm or could pour it over ice. It was great both ways!
