Hello! After the Starlight quest about kinderpunsch made me want some, I ended up trying to recreate all city-states' variants at home. The recipes turned out good enough to share, and some people expressed interest in them in my latest fanart post, so here they are!
The kinderpunsch can be reheated at will. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours (I haven't tried longer), just strain out all solids before doing so.
As a side note, the ingredients with an *asterisk weren't mentioned nor seen in-game, or only under the wider terms "spices" or "herbs" that I had to extrapolate from. I did so because I wanted to make blends with rich and distinctive enough flavors, not just hot fruit juices. Still, these ingredients are optional, and if you have any question as to why I chose a specific one, feel free to ask!
Ingredients for each recipe, for ~2 cups (2x250 mL)
Lominsan kinderpunsch:
- 1 cup (250 ml) orange juice, or 3 squeezed oranges
- 3 Tbsp (45 ml) lemon juice, or 1 squeezed lemon
- ⅓ cup (90 ml) grape juice, or ⅓ pound (160 g) grapes, pressed
- ½ cup (125 ml) water
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger*, minced, or ½ tsp ground ginger*
- ⅛ tsp (0.6 g) cardamom*
- ⅛ tsp (0.6 g) curcuma*
- 1 pinch (0.3 g) ground paprika (smoked if you're feeling adventurous)
Gridanian kinderpunsch:
- 1 cup (250 ml) apple juice, or 3 pressed and filtered apples
- ½ cup (125 ml) currant juice, or 1 cup fresh currants, or 3 tea bags of forest fruits tea
- ½ cup (125 ml) water to brew the tea (+ ½ cup more if not using currant juice)
- 1 tea bag of dried chamomile*
- 2 cinnamon sticks, or 1 tsp (2.5 g) ground cinnamon
- 1 sprig of rosemary*
- 1 sprig of mint*
Ul'dahn kinderpunsch:
- 1 to 3 black tea bags, or 1 to 3 tsp loose leaves
- 1 ¼ cup (315 ml) water (+ ½ cup more to brew the tea)
- 3 Tbsp (45 ml) cream*
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) butter
- ¼ cup (50 g) sultana raisins or other dried fruits, crushed
- 1-2 star anise
- 1 clove
- 1 tonka bean*, grated (if you are in Belgium or in the US, first: my condolences, second: use twice the amount of vanilla and cinnamon, and add 1-2 drops of almond extract)
- ¼ tsp (1.2 g) vanilla powder, or ½ tsp (2.4 g) vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp (0.6 g) black pepper
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg*
- 1 pinch ground ginger
- 1 pinch sea salt*
General instructions for all recipes:
If tea is involved:
- Brew the tea in ½ cup (125 ml) hot water for 3-5 minutes, then remove the bags/leaves.
- (For the Ul'dahn version only) Add the butter, cream and salt, then mix using a hand mixer or a blender for a couple of minutes so the butter is fully incorporated.
Then:
- Put all other ingredients into a medium pot.
- Gently heat over low heat for about 15 minutes.
- (If tea is involved) Add the tea.
- Sweeten to taste using your preferred sugar or sweetener.
- Serve into cups through a fine-mesh sieve.
