The punch is a drink that is native of India. This drink is prepared with tea, lemon, water and a little brandy to provide more heat and from there it was modified in several countries to include ingredients from their region and turn them into typical Christmas drinks. The punch is characterized by having a large amount of vitamin C which is essential to avoid getting sick during this winter season. The recipes may vary, although all are very delicious and excellent for this holiday season.
