Fruity or plain, keep your punch cold with an ice mold made with punch.
Keeping punch cold without diluting it can be a challenge. Remedy the problem with an ice mold made with punch in a Bundt pan. The fluted outline of the Bundt pan creates a decorative piece of ice for floating in the punch that keeps it cool, without diluting your punch with melting water. The trick to making ice in a Bundt pan is in the unmolding.
Instructions
1. Fill the Bundt pan halfway with the same type of punch you will use it in, or use water for an all-purpose ice mold.
2. Freeze the mold for two hours or until frozen solid.
3. Fill the sink halfway with lukewarm water.
4. Lower the Bundt pan into the sink so the water comes up the sides of the pan to the level of the ice to loosen the ice from the pan.
5. Lay a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on the countertop or table. Flip the pan over on top of the foil. The ice should unmold onto the foil. Return to the water bath if it does not come out easily.
6. Wrap the foil around the ice and return to the freezer until ready to use.
7. Unwrap the foil and drop the ice into the bottom of the empty punch bowl and fill with punch on top.
