Today's recipe treat comes from the latest issue of "Louisiana Cookin'" magazine. Although I haven't tried it yet, as soon as the weather gets a little warmer, I'm gonna! Or, if I was going to be home today, I just might make it to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Don't forget to wear your green!
Eula Mae's Deep Bayou Punch
6 oranges
4 lemons
4 tea bags
2 gallons of water
Sugar or sweetener to taste
1 fifth white wine
1 quart of whiskey
Cut fruit in half. Place fruit, tea bags and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and let boil until rinds of the citrus are soft. Strain the liquid and sweeten. Add the wine and whiskey to the warm liquid and serve (LOL...I typed "swerve" first) immediately.
[This recipe comes from the McIlhenny Company, Avery Island, LA; the family who created Tabasco.

At the bottom of the paper on which it was written, it said, "Do not drink this before going hunting!"
