Looking for good recipes for children’s punch, SÜDKURIER found what he was looking for in a family center in the sunshine. “Ever since Mrs. Dippel has been with us, she has been making this recipe for kids’ punch,” reports facility manager Stefanie Seminara. Traditionally, the children’s punch season begins at the Sankt Martin family center. The fruity hot drink accompanies children and staff during the Advent season, from St. Nicholas Day to the Christmas party. “Today is a delicious punch to drink again,” agrees education specialist Katharina Halfinger, deputy director of the Sonnenschein Family Center, who takes care of the “green” group of about 20 children aged 2.9 to school in the canteen.

Marianne Dippel has been making children’s punch according to the same recipe for about fifteen years. “The recipe is great because it has so much juice and fruit and no artificial additives,” explains the education specialist. When tasting, he also makes sure that the children’s punch is not too sweet.
The Sunshine Family Center covers the pedagogical work under the hashtag “#meinpfullendorf”, the platform of the sponsor city of Pfullendorf on Facebook and Instagram. It makes an impression on families and citizens. But also because, due to the pandemic regulations, parties cannot take place in the day center as usual.

Children’s punch should not be too hot
The Family Center Sunshine team made the recipe for the “world’s best” children’s punch available to SÜDKURIER readers. If you need a smaller amount of kids’ punch, the amounts in the recipe can be adjusted accordingly. “For children, the punch should not be prepared so hot that it can be drunk right away,” concludes Stefanie Seminara’s tip.
