Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Strainer
  • Ladle
  • Mugs

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups apple cider
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • Cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pour the apple cider and cranberry juice into a medium saucepan. Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and sugar.
  • Place the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15 minutes. Stir a few times so the spices release their flavor.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Use a strainer to take out the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
  • Add most of the orange slices to the warm punch and stir once. Ladle into mugs and drop a fresh cinnamon stick into each one for garnish.

Notes

Make the punch a few hours ahead and keep it warm on the lowest stove setting. Taste before serving and add a little more sugar if you prefer it sweeter. The orange slices soften during simmering, so use fresh ones only for garnish.
