Witches Brew Halloween Punch

4 cups water

1 cup tapioca pearls

½ cup sugar

64 ounces (1 bottle) cranberry juice blend, chilled

2 liters lime seltzer water, chilled

1 can (12 ounces) frozen peach blend juice concentrate, thawed but cold

Gummy candies, such as worms, to garnish

In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and sugar, then return to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Transfer the tapioca mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Once the tapioca has chilled, in a large, clear punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice blend, seltzer water, peach juice concentrate and tapioca mixture. Stir gently to combine. Garnish the bowl with gummy candies.

Serves 20.
