Directions
Punch, a hot wine-based drink laced with liqueurs, spirits, juices, fruits, berries and spices is very popular in Vienna in winter. It all starts a month before Christmas when punch tents are set up in the main squares and each producer comes up with a different recipe each year to surprise customers.
This year (2020-2021), the punch with sea buckthorn, mandarins (you can use oranges), ginger and gin won the most in my personal ranking. It was served in a “bio” tent near St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
Naturally, I developed a similar but more delicious recipe at home. Let’s try it! Moreover, this punch can be made without gin, then you get a children’s Kinderpunsch.

Frozen sea buckthorn berries pour boiling water and immediately drain them. Mash the berries without water, add the ginger and 150 ml of boiling water. Let it stand for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then, strain it through a fine sieve, squeezing the pulp. |

3
Done

Pour the mandarin juice and sea buckthorn infusion into a saucepan and add the sugar. Stir and heat it up to the desired temperature, but not to a boil. You need the sugar to melt and the liquid to become hot. The children's non-alcoholic punch is done. If we make an adult punch, we move on. |
