1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 quarts apple cider or apple juice
3 cups water
1 12-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
In a large pitcher or glass gallon jar, stir lemon juice and ginger until blended. Add cider, water and orange juice concentrate; stir until well blended. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or until well chilled.
To serve cold, place punch in a large chilled punch bowl. Add ice ring. Serve in punch cups.
To serve hot, place mixture into a 4-quart sauce pot. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large insulated server, slow cooker or serving pitcher. Serve in heatproof cups or mugs.
