Ingredients

  • ¾ pt / 430 ml water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks, 3

Method

Put the water and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan, and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and barely simmer for 8–10 minutes. Add the aguardiente and the lemon juice and remove from the heat after another 1–2 minutes. Moisten the rims of small wine glasses, dip them into the sugar to frost the edges and strain in the hot punch.
