Frequently asked questions

Is this a non-alcoholic punch?
Yes. The recipe from Stor kokebok (1914, p. 625) contains only water, sugar, strawberry juice, orange juice and the juice of 3 lemons – no wine or spirits.
How long should the sugar syrup boil?
1 1/2–2 liters of the water simmers with 3/4 kg sugar for 20 minutes. Skim off, pour into a container, and let it become completely cold before adding the juices.
Why must the syrup be cold before the juice is poured in?
The juices are added to the cold syrup to preserve fresh flavor, color and vitamin C – hot syrup would boil away the aroma of the strawberry, orange and lemon juice.
How much does the recipe yield?
About 14 servings. Note that the ingredient list says 2 1/2 liters of water, while only 1 1/2–2 liters are boiled with the sugar; the rest can be used to thin the punch to taste.
