Ponche NavideñoPatricia Quintana of Mexico City, a cookbook author, instructor, and authority on Mexican cuisine, shared her recipe with me for Ponche Navideño. This is my simplified version of her festive punch.The punch is served during the Christmas holidays and after Posadas (the re-enactment of Mary, with the infant Jesus, looking for shelter). My husband, Bill, and I joined one such Posada procession one evening in Oaxaca. We were given lighted candles to carry, and at the end of the walk the procession returned to a small plaza for Ponche Navideño and sweet fried pastries called Bunuelos.Mexican cinnamon (canela) sticks are available in cellophane packages in Mexican markets and the Mexican section of many supermarkets.
