Alcohol-free punch, kids’ punch and hot winter drinks

Hot winter drinks don’t need refined sugar: punch gets its sweetness from grape, apple or pear juice, and hot chocolate and chai from dates or a little honey. Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and ginger bring the winter flavour. All the punch recipes here are alcohol-free.

Frequently asked questions

What do I make kids’ punch from?

Fruit tea or water with apple, grape or pear juice, plus orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise. The sweetness comes from the juice – you don’t need any extra sugar.

Can I make punch ahead?

Yes. The spices and juice taste even rounder after the punch has steeped for a few hours. Just warm it through without letting it boil.

How long does punch keep in the fridge?

Cooled and covered, about 2 to 3 days. Take out any fresh orange slices first.
