Equipment

1 Large saucepan

Ingredients

1 Litre Cloudy apple juice
500 ml Orange juice smooth
375 ml Cranberry juice pure, not cranberry juice drink
250 ml Pomegranate juice
45 ml Lime juice
75 ml Maple syrup
6 Cinnamon sticks each 10cm in length
3 Star anise
10 g Freeze-dried raspberries I used Mixologists Garden
5 Freeze-dried orange slices I used Mixologists Garden
5 Freeze-dried lemon slices I used Mixologists Garden

Garnishes

Cinnamon sticks
Freeze-dried orange slices, lemon slices and raspberries All available from Mixologists Garden

Instructions

Put the spices, maple syrup and freeze-dried orange, lemon and raspberries into a large saucepan.
Pour in all of the fruit juices. Heat, stirring often until piping hot (but do not boil).
Take the pan off of the heat and leave the punch to steep for 30 minutes (or longer for a more pronounced spice flavour).
The punch can either be chilled and served cold or it can be reheated. Decant it into a heatproof serving jug ready for use.

Notes

If you decide to remove the spices and fruit prior to serving, using a slotted spoon is a good way to achieve this.
If serving your festive non-alcoholic punch warm ensure that you use heatproof glassware.
Use a variety of glasses for a dash of rustic charm.
Aim for around 150ml per helping to serve 15 people.
Use (paid link) Mixologist’s Garden fruit garnishes to adorn each glass. They can be dropped directly into the drink or threaded onto cocktail picks.
