Ingredients
- 4 cups Unsweetened cranberry juice
- 3 cups Water
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 0.5 cup Honey (or sugar, as preferred)
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 6 pieces Whole cloves
- 2 sticks Cinnamon sticks
- 1 orange Fresh orange slices
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, combine the cranberry juice and water. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
Once the liquid is simmering, add the black tea bags. Let them steep for about 5 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags.
Step 3
Stir in the honey (or sugar, if preferred), orange juice, whole cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more honey or sugar if needed.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the punch simmer gently for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
While the punch simmers, wash the fresh orange and cut it into thin slices.
Step 6
After 20 minutes, remove the pot from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks. Discard the solids.
Step 7
Pour the hot punch into mugs or a heatproof serving vessel. Garnish each mug with a fresh orange slice for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy!
