Ingredients

  • 2 lemon organic
  • 1.5 liters chilled, dry white wine (or 6¼ cups) such as Riesling
  • 100 ml water
  • 100 g sugar or ½ cup
  • 1 vanilla pod fresh
  • 1.5 liters sparkling wine (or 6¼ cups)
  • mint optional, leaves for garnishing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Thoroughly clean the lemons with hot water, then carefully peel them in spirals, avoiding the bitter white pith. Place the lemon peels in a large punch bowl.
  2. Pour the chilled dry white wine over the lemon peels in a punch bowl and gently stir.
  3. In a small pot, combine 100 ml of water and 100 g of sugar. Use a knife to slice the vanilla pod lengthwise. Scrape out the paste using the back of a spoon.
  4. Add the vanilla paste to the pot. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves to form a syrup.
  5. Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool.
  6. Squeeze lemon juice from the lemons to a cup, straining to remove any seeds. Add the sparkling wine, fresh lemon juice, and the sugar syrup to the punch bowl.
  7. Stir the mixture in the punch bowl to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  8. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, pour into glasses, garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves (optional), and serve.
