Time 20m

Yield Six cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sticks cinnamon, crushed into pieces
24 cloves
Skin of 2 limes, cut into about 20 strips
3 cups water
1/2 cup good-quality honey (I use chestnut tree honey)
1 bottle robust, fruity red wine (Beaujolais, Spanish Sangre de Toro, zinfandel or Cotes du Rhone)
Small wedges of lime, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the crushed cinnamon, cloves and lime-skin strips in a saucepan with the 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and boil gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steep for 10 minutes. Strain. (You should have about 2 1/2 cups.) While still hot, stir in the honey.
  • Combine the lukewarm syrup with the red wine and transfer the mixture to wine bottles or large glass jars. Refrigerate and serve over ice with a small wedge of lime per serving.

I've made this punch for several parties now and it's always a hit. I love the addition of the cranberries and oranges.

Forgot to buy sparkling water, so I used club soda instead and it was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of red wine, but this punch was delicious! The spices and citrus really balance out the red wine flavor.

Super easy to make. I used a cheaper red wine than recommended and it tasted great. Will definitely make again!
