JENKINS PUNCH
My granny always made this punch. She practically raised me; we lived with her until my daddy bought us a house and moved us out when I was still a little boy. My grandmother was a hardworking Southern woman, always cooking and cleaning her house. This is her recipe for as refreshing and fragrant a summer drink as you can imagine-a really intensely flavored version of sweet tea, if you will. It's a family favorite to this day. (It doesn't call for Crown Royal, and I don't even mind.) One thing, though: My granny's last name wasn't Jenkins, and she never did tell me who this recipe is originally named after; that's a mystery for the ages, I guess.
