Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups apple cider
- 1 cup dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 pieces whole cloves
- 2 pieces star anise
- 1 piece orange, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- 4 sticks cinnamon sticks (for garnish)
- 1 piece apple slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, combine the apple cider, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, whole cloves, star anise, and orange slices.
Place the pot over medium heat and slowly bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the spices are well blended.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 10 minutes to fully infuse the flavors.
If desired, stir in the brown sugar to add sweetness, tasting as you go to achieve the desired level of sweetness.
Remove the pot from heat and carefully strain the punch through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids (spices and orange slices).
Stir in the dark rum until well combined.
Pour the warm spiced rum and apple punch into mugs or heatproof glasses.
Garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick and optional apple slices for an extra festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
