Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Apple cider
- 2 cups Orange juice
- 1 cup Cranberry juice
- 3 sticks Cinnamon sticks
- 6 pieces Whole cloves
- 2 pods Star anise
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 whole Orange
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Fresh cranberries (optional, for garnish)
- 1 whole Apple slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, pour in the apple cider, orange juice, and cranberry juice.
Wash the orange thoroughly, then thinly slice it into rounds. Add the orange slices to the pot.
Peel the ginger and slice it thinly. Add the ginger slices to the pot along with the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil as this may alter the flavors.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste the mixture and add honey or maple syrup, stirring to dissolve, if you prefer a sweeter punch.
Remove the pot from the heat. Using a ladle, carefully strain out the spices, orange slices, and ginger pieces through a fine-mesh strainer if you prefer a clear liquid.
Optional: Garnish each serving with fresh cranberries and apple slices for a festive touch.
Serve the punch warm in mugs or heatproof glasses. Enjoy your cozy autumn beverage!
