Mystery Punch

¼ cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon ginger ground

2 quarts cider or apple juice

3 cups water

1 (12-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate

1 frozen "Ice Ring", if desired

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. 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.
