Mulled Cranberry and Red Wine Punch
Equipment
- Large Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 5 whole cloves
- 1 orange, sliced
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the red wine, cranberry juice, and honey into a large pot. Place the pot over medium heat.
- Add the cinnamon sticks and cloves to the liquid. Stir gently until the honey fully dissolves.
- Drop in most of the orange slices. Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Discard the cinnamon sticks and cloves if desired.
- Ladle the punch into four mugs. Add the remaining orange slices and a few fresh cranberries to each serving.
Notes
Make the punch a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge. Reheat on low heat without boiling to preserve the wine flavor. Taste and add a splash more honey if you prefer it sweeter. Whole spices make it easy to remove before serving so no one bites into a clove.
