Spiced Hot Cranberry Punch

A warming beverage using 700 ml tart cranberry juice and 300 ml unsweetened apple cider. Infused with star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and fresh orange peel. Brown sugar balances the tartness. Fresh ginger replaced candied for brightness. Clove swapped with cardamom pods adds unexpected depth. Heat gently to meld flavors. Strain off solids before serving. Serve piping hot. Great for chilly days or gatherings. Vegetal, vegan, no gluten, no dairy, nut free. Flavor changes slightly with fresh instead of candied ginger. Apple cider brings subtle sweetness and apple notes.
