Strawberry, Grapefruit, and Chamomile Brunch Punch

Directions

1. 1.

   Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, add the tea bags, and stir. Cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard. Refrigerate until room temperature or chilled, at least 1 hour.

2. 2.

   In a blender, combine the grapefruit juice and half of the strawberries. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large punch bowl. Add the chamomile syrup, bourbon, and bitters. Add the remaining strawberry slices and ice.

3. 3.

   To serve, put a few ice cubes into serving cups, garnish with fresh flowers, if available, and ladle the punch into glasses.
