Using an empty gallon milk/water container, place 6 tea bags (without tags) in the bottom and fill about 1/4 full of water. Place in microwave and heat on high for 5 minutes.Let stand for about 10 minutes to steep and add enough water to about 7/8 of the way to the top.
If Mom likes the tea unsweetened, then just refrigerate it. If she likes it sweetened, add 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar, place lid on and shake until the sugar is dissolved.
Then chill in refrigerator till you need it. (A nice touch would be lemon cut on the side or fresh mint, if it's available)
Process the bananas with lemonade in a food processor until smooth....Add the water, orange juice and sugar and mix well. Freeze in loaf pans covered with plastic wrap until needed..When ready for party ...place this frozen, slushy mixture into punchbowl and slowly add the soda....stirring carefully....Place melon balls, kiwi, and lime on top to float...maraschino cherries also look very festive for Christmas....Yummy...(Approximately 25 - 8 oz. servings)...
Empty all the cans and packages of fruit into the bottom of the punch bowl. Add the diluted lemonade, Hawaiian Punch, and mix slowly. Empty the container of sherbert on top of this and pour slowly the 2 liters of Sprite....Stir slowly...breaking up the sherbert. On top of this place a few of lime slices and kiwi and let them float.....I have a huge punch bowl and go through 5 batches of this for the night. When one batch is done....I may not add quite as much fruit each time...experience will help you decide.....
