Prickly Pear Punch

BARBARA ROSE
Pick 30-40 prickly pear fruit and toss them in the freezer. When you want to make the juice put the frozen fruits in a colander lined with light cloth. As the fruit thaws it will fall apart and the juice will pour through the colander and cloth strained and ready (so put something under the colander to catch it all.

Now you can drink that juice in the pure state or extend it by adding it to water. To the brilliant color and subtler flavor you could add such things as carbonated water, honey, local citrus, tequila, creosote tincture, and/or sweetened lemonade water.
