This super refreshing punch is a mix of tea, fruit juices and spices. A friend of mine was (although she is slim with an active lifestyle) diagnosed with pre-diabetes 2 a couple of weeks ago. To avoid having to take medicine for diabetes, she is keeping a strict low GI diet. One of the things she served for her birthday tea recently was this beautiful, not sweet at all punch. It’s perfect for a hot summer X-mas day (like we have here in South Africa).
Makes 3 litres:
- 1 cup (250 ml) unsweetened orange juice
- 1 cup unsweetened (cloudy) apple juice- 8 cups water (or more if you want to make it even less sweet)
- 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
- 4 rooibos teabags
- 3 sticks of cinnamon
- 10 cloves
- 1 cm fresh ginger root, grated
Bring water with spices and teabags to a boil. When it starts to boil, turn off the stove after one minute and let infuse and cool for about one hour. Pass through a sieve and mix in the juices. Refrigerate and serve cold.
