This fruity sweet punch is deliciously fizzy and comes into a world of its own served over ice.
I have made this recipe a few times tinkering with the ingredients and am quite proud of how this has turned out
stupidly cheap easy to make and even easier to drink.
To make 10 pints of round about 4% Punch for under £3 you will need.
Ingedients:
400g of white sugar
1 tsp. Youngs Super wine yeast
1 tsp. Yeast nutrient
1L bottle of Robbinsons Fruit & Barley No Sugar Tropical Juice
Method:
1)Put yeast to a small glass of lukewarm water along with the yeat nutrient and a few spoonfulls of sugar and cover with clingfilm.
2)Add the full 1L of robinsons into a large pan and simmer over a low heat for about 10mins.
3)Tip the rest of the white sugar into the pan and stir till desolved.
4)Top the pan up with cold water or leave to cool before adding it to your demijohn.
5)Fill up your demijohn 3/4 of the way with more cold water and add the yeast starter you made in step one
then fill the demijohn till 2 inches below the top.
6)Fit airlock and leave somewhere warm till fermatation has finished between 1 & 2 weeks depending on room temperature.
7)Rack of into large container.
8)Desolve 48g of white sugar in half a pint of boiling water and add to ur brew before bottling.
This brew requires no aging and is ready as soon as it is carbonated which for me is about 1 week after bottling.
The Robinsons sugar free range has artificial sweeteners in that keep you brews sweet after fermentation has finished and this recipe can be adapted for any in their sugar free range. I have tried several for example the Lemon, Winterberrys, Apple, Strawberries and Cream and all of them have been nice but this Tropical one and the Lemon ones are my personal faves. The Apple one makes a quiet interesting cider and am experimenting mixing with real apple juice to make a simple sweet fizzy cider.
If you want a stronger punch you can simple add more sugar in step three. A rough guide is 85g of sugar will increase your alcohol content by 1%
