Summertime Litchi Iced Tea

4 quarts water
10 litchi tea bags
1/2 cup ginger juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups cranberry-flavored vodka
Lemon and lime slices, for garnish

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, and remove from the heat. Add the tea bags, ginger, lemon, and lime juices and sugar. Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes, remove the tea bags and cool the tea. Stir to be sure that the sugar is dissolved, and place in a large pitcher. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Just before serving, add the vodka to the tea and serve in tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish with lemon and or lime slices.

Yield: about 1 gallon
