Step 2: Make the Fruit Puree

1. In a blender, combine the chopped strawberries and apples.
2. Add a splash of apple juice to help the blending process.
3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
4. If desired, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp for a smoother drink.

Step 3: Mix the Punch

1. In a large pitcher, pour in the fruit puree.
2. Add the remaining apple juice and strawberry juice. Stir well.
3. Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.
4. Taste and adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup if needed.
5. Add sparkling water or club soda just before serving for a fizzy twist.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the punch for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
2. When ready to serve, pour over a glass filled with ice cubes.
3. Garnish with mint leaves, strawberry slices, and apple wedges.

🧊 Tips and Variations

• Vegan Option: Use coconut condensed milk and plant-based cream like oat or almond cream.
• Boozy Version: Add a splash of white rum or apple liqueur for an adult punch.
• Slushy Punch: Freeze half the fruit puree into cubes and blend again for a frozen treat.
