7. 10. 2025

Another alcohol-free Christmas punch recipe. Or – if you want to add some alcohol – you can add wine or sparkling wine.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 orange cut into slices
• 6 cloves
• 2 star anise (maybe a little extra for garnish)
• 1 stick of cinnamon
• 1 apple, diced or sliced (also for decoration)
• 1 liter of apple juice (or 1 bottle of white wine/sparkling wine)

METHOD

• Put sugar, a few slices of orange, cloves, anise, cinnamon, and almost a whole apple cut into slices (keep the rest for decoration) in a saucepan and boil until syrupy.
• Stir while cooking to prevent the mixture from burning.
• Cook for half an hour, strain everything through a fine sieve, and add apple juice or white/sparkling wine.
• Warm the beverage (it should not boil!)
• Serve with slices of apples, oranges, and star anise.
