Ingredients
Fruits

2mediumApples, peeled, cored, and sliced
Juices
1.5cupsCold apple juice
1cupCold strawberry juice or nectar
0.5cupSweetened condensed milk
1cupCold water
Other
1tablespoonFresh lemon juice
as neededIce cubes
Optional Toppings

as neededMint leaves
Instructions
Add the halved strawberries and sliced apples to a blender. Pulse until they form a smooth puree. If your blender struggles, add a splash of the apple juice to help it along.
Pour the fruit puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the pulp (optional, but makes the punch smoother). Use the back of a spoon to press as much juice out as possible.
Add the cold apple juice, strawberry juice or nectar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir until everything is fully combined and the condensed milk is dissolved.
Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. If desired, add more apple juice for extra sweetness or a bit more lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
Fill glasses or a punch bowl with ice cubes. Pour the strawberry apple punch over the ice.
Top each serving with extra strawberry slices, apple chunks, or a few mint leaves for a beautiful finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
This punch pairs beautifully with light sandwiches, chicken salad wraps, or fresh garden salads. It's also great with sweet treats like lemon bars or fruit tarts.
