Hot Cranberry Punch Recipe

P lace the tea bag in a mug, add the boiling water, and steep for 5 minutes.

In a small saucepan, place the cranberry juice, apple cider, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice, and orange peel, and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add the tea, discarding the tea bag.

Pour punch into 4 mugs and garnish each with an orange slice and cinnamon stick.
