Aunt Ruth’s Jungle Juice

Turn iced tea & fruit juice into Jungle Juice
My Aunt Ruth kept a delicious beverage in her fridge that we kids called Jungle Juice. She made it from leftover iced tea and fruit juices. There was never a written recipe because her delightful concoction was made from whatever was available at the time.
Over the weekend, I came across a recipe in a self published cookbook called “Ruth Owen’s Fruit Tea”. It sounded a lot like Aunt Ruth’s Jungle Juice, so, I decided to give it a try. I served it to my guests for Easter lunch which was a big hit with not a drop left in the crystal pitcher at the end of the meal. But, no need for anything fancy. Aunt Ruth’s was kept in a plastic pitcher in the fridge for any thirsty soul who happened by.
