Green Tea Punch

Ingredients:

• 8 cups fresh brewed green tea, chilled

• Sorbet, flavor of choice (optional)
• Ice cream scoop

3. Add ice and chilled green tea to the punch bowl. Pour ginger beer into the punch. Add 4 to 6 scoops of sorbet if you like.
4. Serve with a scoop into small punch glasses.
