Madeira Poncha with Sugarcane Spirit, Honey and Lemon

What you need

• 100 ml (scant 1/2 cup) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 80 g (1/4 cup) honey, or to taste
• 250 ml (1 cup) aguardente de cana, Madeira sugarcane spirit; white rhum agricole is the closest substitute
• orange juice, optional, a splash to soften it
• lemon peel, optional, for serving

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Pour the lemon juice into a jug, with the orange juice if you are using it.

2. 2

   Add the honey and work it into the juice with a caralhinho, the Madeiran wooden stirring stick, spinning it between your palms. A whisk or long spoon also works.

3. 3

   Keep stirring until the honey has dissolved completely and none sits at the bottom.

4. 4

   Pour in the aguardente and stir hard again until the drink turns cloudy and a little foamy.

5. 5

   Leave it to settle for 10 min so the flavors blend.

6. 6

   Stir once more and pour into small glasses, each with a strip of lemon peel if you like. Serve well chilled, with a little ice if you like.
