This winter drink, served hot and often with a piquete (shot of liquor), is just the ticket for taking the chill off a (relatively) cold fall or winter night. It's wonderful for a party and traditional at Christmas. Ponche Navideño Ingredientes: ● 25 tejocotes, halved and seeds removed ● 15 guayabas, quartered ● 1 tza. Pasitas ● 2 tza. Ciruela pasa ● 6 pzas. caña, cut in julienne ● 4 manzanas, cut in eighths or smaller ● 6 tzos.
