3sugar cane sticksabout 5-in. long cut into four pieces each
1cupTamarind pods peeled
Rum to taste
Instructions
Place water in a large stockpot.
Add the piloncillo (or brown sugar) and cinnamon to cook for about 15 minutes. If you are using fresh Tejocotes, add them with the piloncillo and cinnamon, since they take longer to soften. Ponche Navideno
Add the chopped guavas, apples, and prunes along with the rest of the ingredients like the sugar cane sticks, tamarind pods or hibiscus flowers. If you are using the canned version of the tejocotes, then add them in this step.
Simmer for about 1 hour. Serve hot in mugs, ladling in some of the fruit and adding rum to your liking.
Notes
If you do not find all the ingredients like the tejocotes, you can still make this drink without them.Other dried fruits can be used as a substitute.
