The resulting tea, in which the leaves have settled, is heated over low heat and honey or sugar is added. Stir constantly, making sure that the honey does not stick to the bottom of the pan and does not burn.

Spices and recipe ingredients are added to sweetened tea. Warm up, do not boil. For spices and condiments, it is recommended to use whole pods and sticks rather than ground spices. It is they that give the aromatic taste and richness, and are not felt when drinking the drink.

Remove the pan from the heat and add lemon (or lime juice). You can add fruits and berries to your homemade punch recipe. These are mainly pears and apples.

And again, the container with the cooking liquid is placed on the fire and one and a half glasses of rum (about 300 grams) is poured into it. Rum is sometimes replaced with other strong alcohol.

Hot is poured into mugs or glasses and served to the table. Add fresh fruit juice. It is advised to refrain from packaged drinks so as not to spoil the taste.

Grog, mulled wine and punch. What are the differences?

Grog, mulled wine and punch are drinks similar in their composition, preparation method, and warming effect.

What is the difference between punch and grog if they are brewed with high-quality strong rum?

And with mulled wine, at first glance, the drink has the same composition. Are they really that similar?

So, grog is a solution of rum and water, to which lemon juice is added for taste and nobility. While grog served as a remedy for scurvy and widespread drunkenness among English sailors, punch was always considered an aristocratic and noble drink and was not diluted with anything. And mulled wine is considered a warming drink.

Strong alcohol is always used to prepare punch, and mulled wine is made from dry wine, which can be further diluted with water. If you replace strong alcohol with champagne, liqueur, wine, then you will make mulled wine, not punch.

No tea is added to these strong drinks; in classic punch it is the main ingredient.

Punch is a fairly strong drink, when like mulled wine and grog generally do not exceed 8-15% alcohol.

In past centuries, punch as a drink was the prerogative of aristocrats, always served spectacularly, in the dark and set on fire.

Thus, the main difference and similarity between drinks is in their composition and methods of preparation.

How and from what do they drink?

If you want to figure out how to make an amazing cocktail, then feel free to invite your friends and family. This drink is not prepared in small quantities; seven to eight servings are just right. And served effectively.

• We prepare large mugs. They should have thick, wide walls to retain heat for a long time.

Thick-walled glass glasses are also suitable, then it will be visible. Enjoying the punch shimmering in the light, it will become more interesting to try.

They savor the punch in small sips so that the aroma and taste of this aristocratic drink opens up and is felt.

Sweet desserts, gingerbread, and ice cream go well with punch. Fruits and berries and candies are suitable as snacks. A good hard cheese would be appropriate

Attention, TODAY only!

“Apples, apples in the snow...” On a cold winter evening, this drink will warm both body and soul.

Apple punch is very flavorful and served hot. And if you also have homemade apple juice, then the usefulness of such a drink is undeniable.

Compound:

• 750 ml apple juice
• 3 teaspoons orange zest
• spices:
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (not heaped)
  • 3 pcs cloves
  • 1/3 teaspoon nutmeg
  • cinnamon sticks (according to the number of glasses)

Non-alcoholic apple punch recipe:

1. For this drink, of course, it is better to use homemade natural apple juice. My juice from apples is more sweet than sour. Therefore, the punch turned out naturally sweet and no additional sweeteners were needed. Of course, you can add sugar to taste. In addition, if the juice is too concentrated for your taste, you can dilute it a little with water.
2. So, first of all, prepare the spices and zest. One medium-sized orange yields just 3 tsp. zest. With this spice ratio, the apple punch turns out quite “cinnamony.” You can change the spice ratio to suit your taste, but keep in mind that cloves are a very powerful spice and the main thing is not to overdo it. Otherwise you will end up with “Clove Punch”.

Apple-ginger punch

Ingredients:

So, take a large saucepan, pour apple brandy into it, add cherry liqueur, juice and ginger green wine. Mix everything thoroughly, heat it up a little and leave to cool. Then put the drink in the refrigerator for an hour and cool. Meanwhile, take the apples, wash them, cut them into slices and attach them to the walls of the glasses. Dilute the chilled drink with ginger ale and pour into glasses.

Classic apple punch recipe: Making apple punch does not require any special skill, much labor or exotic ingredients. For example, a domestic recipe for apple punch is made in the following simple way: 3 semerenka apples are grated, poured with hot sugar syrup (0.1 kg of sugar dissolves in boiling water) and apple wine (1.5 l). In a ceramic bowl, this mixture is heated to 80°C, removed from the heat, a glass of cognac is added, and the punch is ready to serve.

Spiced Apple Punch Recipe: An example of making an apple punch recipe with the addition of
spices: prepare a liter of apple juice in a juicer, mix in a saucepan with the pulp of one lemon, peeled and cut into pieces, water (0.5 l), cloves (4 buds) and half a stick of cinnamon. The mixture is heated to a boil, infused for 5 minutes and poured into portions. Sugar can be added to recipes similar to this composition (up to 5 tbsp).

Apple-orange juice punch: 2 oranges are cut into halves, 2 cloves are fixed in their peel. Juice is squeezed out of two oranges, and 1.5 liters of juice with apple pulp. These ingredients are mixed in an enamel pan, 0.1 kg of quince paste and a cinnamon stick are added, the mixture is heated until the quince paste dissolves, then infused for 2 hours. Before pouring into portions, a glass of Calvados is added, the glasses (10 servings) are decorated with pieces of cinnamon sticks and half-slices of orange.

Example of Multivitamin Chilled Apple Punch: 1 liter of apple juice is squeezed out, which is sweetened with two tablespoons. sugar and half a glass of 3-star cognac. The punch is cooled in the refrigerator before serving. This simplest punch to make contains almost the entire spectrum of vitamins necessary for the body (A, E, B1,2,5,6,9,12, C, H, D, PP), minerals and trace elements (aluminum, boron, iron, phosphorus, manganese, sulfur, iodine, chlorine, potassium, magnesium, chromium, calcium, molybdenum, cobalt, copper, sodium, nickel, rubidium, fluorine, zinc), proteins, fats and carbons.

From European recipes Of interest is the rich French apple punch,
containing a minimum percentage of alcohol (20-30 g of Calvados per serving). France is the birthplace of Calvados; in Normandy, a large share of the apple harvest is used to make apple wine - cider, part of which, since 1553, apple vodka - Calvados - has been distilled. It is not surprising that the alcoholic component of French punch is represented by Calvados. To prepare an average of 5 servings of punch, brew 1 liter of strong tea sweetened with brown sugar (100 g), add slices of peeled fruit (0.5 kg of unsweetened apples, pineapple and lime halves) and spices (cinnamon - half a stick, cloves - 2 buds, coriander and Jamaican pepper - 3 grains each). This mixture is heated for 5 minutes over very low heat. Then half a glass of Calvados is poured into the bowl removed from the heat, the punch is filtered and poured into glasses, each of which is decorated with 50 ml of whipped cream and brown sugar.

Place a kettle of water on the fire. While the water is boiling, squeeze a large wedge (about 1/8) of fresh lemon into each glass and add 1 teaspoon white sugar, then add a shot of rum (about 40 ml). Of course, take the rum to your taste, but we recommend that it be as spicy, golden and low-proof as possible. Pour 100 milliliters of boiling water into each glass, stir quickly and serve. Don’t forget to also put a sugar bowl on the table - in case someone doesn’t find it sweet enough.

White mulled wine with saffron

Everything here is the same as with regular mulled wine - pour a bottle of wine into a pan, add spices, bring to a boil, but do not boil. Only you need to take white wine - dry or semi-dry, and under no circumstances Muscat, because the Muscat smell will overwhelm anything. So, it's simple: take a pinch of natural saffron, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, an apple (the juicier the better) and half a lemon along with the peel. Coarsely chop the apple and lemon, place in a saucepan along with the rest of the supplies, pour in wine and leave for half an hour. Then put the pan on the fire, bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Pour into mugs and serve immediately.

Hot apple toddy

Buy a couple of large sweet apples, a tangerine and a lemon at the supermarket. Peel and seed the apples, cut into slices and place in a saucepan. Cut the tangerine crosswise, squeeze into a saucepan with apples; Do the same with the lemon (just make sure that the seeds remain outside). Sprinkle the apples with 1 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of ground cinnamon and the same amount of cloves. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the apples begin to soften. Remove from heat and mash into a puree. Add a glass of whiskey and, if you like, a couple of spoons of apple vodka. Heat a little more, without bringing to a boil, pour into glasses and serve. Be careful - it hits your brain in completely unpredictable ways.

Irish coffee

It would seem that there is nothing interesting here. But we have one addition to this famous recipe. Make your coffee, whip the cream vigorously, and then do this: put a handful of refined sugar in a fireproof plate, pour a generous amount of whiskey (preferably Irish, but not required) over it, and then set it on fire. While the sugar is burning, pour the coffee into glasses. When the flame goes out, add a spoonful of sugar to each glass, add some more whiskey, stir, and then top with a generous portion of whipped cream. Try it, it will turn out much better than usual.

Hot beer

It sounds disgusting, it takes a long time to prepare, and you can’t make every beer, but if you do it right, you can go crazy with happiness. The best stout is Irish or English, it doesn’t matter. Take 2 pints of stout (a little more than a liter - so it can count as a liter), pour it into a saucepan, add 3-4 cloves and 1 cinnamon stick (you can also use Chinese cinnamon, the so-called cassia; cheaper, but it will work here) . Place over low heat, heat until almost boiling, then remove from heat and leave for an hour. Then take 4 fresh yolks, place them in a large heatproof bowl, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until completely smooth. Place the bowl in a water bath, take a whisk and continue whisking, gradually pouring in the cooled spiced beer. When only the spices remain in the pan, pour the drink into glasses and serve.
