Special Hot Fruit Punch Recipe Guatemala

---

The recipe for Hot Punch of Fruits from Guatemala is a very traditional drink of the end of the year and the Christmas season. This delicious drink has formed from the traditions of Guatemala for a long time.

We have already shared the traditional recipe for hot fruit punch, but this time we share a small variation of the recipe that is also well known and enjoyed by Guatemalans and foreign visitors to Guatemala alike.

As we have shared in the previous recipe, this exquisite drink is a heritage of the Spanish culture, which in turn was imported from regions of the Middle East and Arab countries, where its original name was "PANCH" and which included, in addition to fruits, also herbs. This special version of our Guatemalan Fruit Punch is a little closer to the original recipe, but with a touch of sweetness unique to our region of Guatemala.
