Put the water and sugar in a pan with the thinly pared rinds of lemon and 1 orange. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, bring to the boil and boil for 5 mins.Remove the pan from the heat and add the juice of the lemon and all the oranges, the tea and the rum. Strain and serve hot or cold.

Mix all together and stand the punch on ice for 30 mins before serving. Maybe also decorated ice cubes with a touch of colour.
