Admiral Punch

Make a quart of strong tea and strain into a saucepan with two pounds of sugar, the grated rinds of one orange and three lemons, and boil for five minutes. Strain, and let stand overnight. The next morning mix the juice of six lemons and two oranges, a cup of shredded pineapple, a cup of strawberries, three bananas, sliced, a pint of grape juice, or ginger ale, and one teaspoonful each of bitter almond extract, rose water, and vanilla. Add the fruit to the tea, and pour into a punch bowl over a large block of ice. Just before serving pour in three quarts of Apollinaris.
