Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 liter apple juice (unsweetened)
- 2 bags black tea
- 500 milliliters water
- 1 whole orange
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 sticks cinnamon sticks
- 6 pieces cloves
- 2 pieces star anise
- 4 pods cardamom pods
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 optional apple slices or orange slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Pour the 1 liter of apple juice into a large pot and add the 500 milliliters of water.
Place 2 black tea bags in the pot and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
While the liquid heats, slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Add the slices to the pot.
Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and cardamom pods to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the punch to steep for 15-20 minutes. Do not let it boil to preserve the flavors.
Remove the tea bags after 5 minutes, but leave the spices and citrus slices to continue infusing the flavor.
Taste the punch and sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired, stirring well after each addition.
Strain the punch through a fine mesh sieve to remove the spices and citrus slices before serving.
Serve the punch warm in mugs or heatproof glasses, garnished with apple slices or orange slices if desired.
