6 servings

• 1 l water, boiling, or black tea infusion
• 1 bottle red wine, good
• 2 pcs lemons

Instructions

1. For 6-8 people.
2. It's best to prepare the punch in a double boiler, where it can get simmering hot without boiling.
3. Add 275 grams of sugar cubes to the punch bowl and pour 1 liter of boiling water or 1 liter of strong black tea infusion over it.
4. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, add 1 bottle of good red wine, the strained juice of 2 lemons, and ½ bottle of good rum.
5. Cover the vessel and let the punch get simmering hot.
