So I'm quickly making a steaming hot punch which is packed full of delicious Christmas
flavour with my mate Dexter Fletcher. Well we're having our seasonal card game and he
takes it all very seriously. - Gonna be a lovely game, nice and friendly,
just like last year. Maybe we'll win some of our money back. Mr Oliver! You ready?
- Yeah I'll be literally one and a half minutes mate. OK so look, while Dexter's sorting out
the cards, sorry about this, I'm going to make a beautiful punch, a brilliant punch
for Christmas, a brilliant swap out for like mulled wine, stuff like that. So in that pan
right now is 3 big bottles of apple juice, now I'm going to fill those up with 2 bottles
of water, just to let it down. So we go in with 2 water, people are going to love this,
it's a really nice little recipe. I want to spice it up, give it some heat with some ginger.
It's going to infuse like a tea, right, I'm going to add about 2 thumb sized pieces of
ginger and then I want to add the lemon juice, about 12 lemons.
Bring it to the boil, the longer you simmer it for, the more the flavour of the ginger will come out, people love it.
If you want, you can put a stick of 1 cinnamon in there, pop that in as well, get some rum
in there, it's for 25 people, it's alright. Add a little bit of honey, it's a real hot
toddy, really medicinal, lovely. Really really good. You alright Dex?
- Yeah yeah I just wondering how long you're gonna be mate?
- I'll be 2 secs. - OK hurry yourself up yeah?
- You want one yeah? - Yeah yeah I'm having one. Gentlemen, it's
just water is it? You sure? [Laughs] - Now I'm going to fill these up and we're
ready to go, lovely hot toddy and honestly, I love this stuff. It's even better than mulled
wine, I just love it. We ready Dex? - Yeah I'm dealing the cards, dealing the cards!
- There you go mate.
- That's for me, thank you very much. - Gentlemen, sorry to keep you waiting.
- Cheers, Happy Christmas. OK that's my card there.
What you got James?
- Snap! - Aaaahhh no!
- That's rubbish!
- Awful that is! Happy Christmas!
