Stir the granulated sugar into the hot tea until completely dissolved.
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine the brewed sweet tea, remaining 4 cups of water, pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, add the ginger ale to the punch bowl for a fizzy touch.
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the punch over the ice, and garnish with fresh slices of lemon, orange, and pineapple as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
