CHRISTMAS PONCHE

The Authentic Ponche Navideño: A Taste of Mexican Tradition

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
6 quarts water, divided
2 cups tejocotes
6 guayabas
8–10 pieces sugar cane
2 cinnamon sticks
1 piloncillo
1 cup pears, chopped
1 cup apples, chopped
3/4 cup prunes
1/2 cup tamarind

Preparation:

Cook the hibiscus in one liter of water, strain it, and set it aside.
In a pot, heat 3 liters of water, and once it begins to boil, add the piloncillo and let it start to dissolve.
Add the cinnamon sticks, sugar cane, tamarind, and a little of the boiled and strained hibiscus. Stir until the piloncillo is fully incorporated with the other ingredients.
Gradually add the fruits — pear, apple, guava, and tejocotes.
Let the mixture boil for about 40 minutes so all the flavors blend together.
Enjoy warm and discover the flavors of the season.
