From "The Herb Garden Cookbook" (Gulf, $12.95), by
Lucinda Hutson. If lemon verbena or lemon balm are
unavailable, mint may be substituted.

Place oranges, lemon, lime and other seasonal fruits
in a large container. Add wine, orange liqueur, brandy
and herbs. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight,
or up to three days.

Fill a clear glass pitcher with sangria, adding more
freshly sliced seasonal fruits, frozen peaches and/or
blueberries and fresh long-stemmed herbs. (Soft fruits
such as fresh strawberries or sliced kiwi also may be
added before serving.) Pour into wine glasses with a
splash of club soda or champagne, a tiny cluster of
grapes and a fresh herb sprig.

Makes about 40 4-oz servings. NOTE: Hutson says that
if she uses red wine in this punch, she also adds a
long stick of cinnamon.
