Punch

Punch

After moving back to Curaçao (1988) my mother started making punch for all the holidays and birthdays. I like this drink, but I don't like the amount of sugar she puts in it. She always made one bottle that could be consumed before the holiday or birthday. She made it  alcohol-free. I made it myself for a few birthdays I celebrated with former friends before 2013. I served it with and without alcohol* on my birthdays.

Ingredients

*I never abused alcohol and at the birthdays I celebrated with former friends, no one got drunk.
