7 cups water
7 cups sugar
6 cups guava juice
9 cups fresh pineapple juice
10 cups orange juice (4 dozen small-sized oranges)
2 cups lemon Juice (1 doz. lemons)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Peel ginger root and chop fine. Boil with 3 cups of the water until a strong ginger flavor is obtained. Cool and strain through a cloth, squeezing the ginger root. Boil the sugar and the remaining 4 cups of water to make a syrup, then cool. Combine all ingredients and pour over cracked ice. If the punch is too strong dilute with cold water.
